Research topic: China’s central-local government relations and technological innovation: the case of Chinese Science and Technology Industrial Parks (STIPs)

Project description

China’s central-local government relations played an important role not only on economic growth but also on technological development. In the specific context of central-local relations, the central government’s policies to promote technological innovation have been distorted by the local, which has seriously hindered technological innovation. In addition, the argument will be illustrated with development of 54 state-level STIPs in China.
