| Regional innovation policy is a comprehensive policy system that includes a wide range of policies.Whether these regional policies are coordinated?How to improve the synergy of regional innovation policies?The research on synergy appraisement of regional innovation policy is significant.Existing research on the synergy of innovation policy has analyzed the importance and mechanism of the synergy effect,however,there are few researches on synergy appraisement.Furthermore,the indicators and methods in these few researches on synergy appraisement need to be improved.Based on the measures and objectives,this study constructs the synergy analysis model of regional innovation policy and appraises the synergy of regional innovation policy,improving the existing indicators and methods of synergy appraisement.First of all,in economics,innovation activities are affected by supply,demand and environment.According to the different aspects of the effect on regional innovation activities,the research divides regional innovation policy measures into three categories:supply-oriented,demand-oriented and environmental support regional innovation policy measures,including 12 sub-categories.Based on the theory of process,through the analysis of the whole life cycle of innovation activities,the paper divides regional innovation policy goals into five categories,namely independent innovation,intellectual property protection,technology introduction,capital introduction and transformation of scientific and technological achievements.Secondly,the study elaborates the operational definitions and assignment standards of regional innovation policy measures and objectives,and then quantifies the regional innovation policy measures and objectives.Thirdly,the annual value formula of regional innovation policy measures and objectives is developed.The annual value of regional innovation policy measures can be used to analyze the use of the regional innovation policy measures in the regional innovation policy in each year.The annual value of regional innovation policy objectives can be used to analyze the significance of regional innovation policy objectives in each year.Finally,the research applies synergetic function in economics to the synergy appraisement of regional innovation policy.The formula of synergetic degree between regional innovation policy measures and the formula of synergetic degree between regional innovation policy objectives are developed.The value of synergetic degree between regional innovation policy measures and the value of synergetic degree between regional innovation policy objectives can be used to appraise the synergy of regional innovation policy.In addition,this paper applies the synergy analysis model of regional innovation policy to appraises the synergy of innovation policy of Anhui province and put forward some suggestions on the innovation policy making.There are four contributions of the study.First,the paper conducts synergy appraisement of regional innovation policy,and improves the research on the synergy of innovation policy.Second,the study improves the indicators of synergy appraisement,from the perspectives of policy measures and policy objectives.Thirdly,the research applies synergetic function in economics to the synergy appraisement of regional innovation policy and improves the methods of synergy appraisement.Fourthly,the study can guide the government and other public sectors to appraise the synergetic degree of regional innovation policy,to scientifically make regional innovation policy,and to establish an efficient innovation policy system. |
