“…We adapt this specification from Grossman and Helpman (1991b), who also assume that knowledge spillovers arise from trade. 13 Imposing symmetry and using (7) and (15), one can show that I t = αΦ f t /2. If we define λ ≡ λα/2, then the zero-profit condition of R&D in sector f can be expressed as:…”

“…where ψ ∈ (0.5, 1] again denotes the factor intensity of foreign input in the production of foreign-input-intensive capital goods. 15 Hence, our benchmark model is a special case with ψ = 1. In Appendix B, we show that there exists a range of ψ ∈ [ψ, 1] in which our results hold.…”

“…The open‐economy R&D‐based growth model is based on Grossman and Helpman (1991b). We follow Chu et al (2018) to extend the Grossman–Helpman model to multiple sectors. Specifically, firms in one sector use domestic inputs for the production of differentiated products, whereas those in the other sector use foreign inputs.…”

“…Specifically, firms in one sector use domestic inputs for the production of differentiated products, whereas those in the other sector use foreign inputs. Furthermore, we generalize the model in Chu et al (2018) by introducing minimum wage and allowing for a nonunitary elasticity of substitution between labor and imported inputs in production. For simplicity, we assume that the terms of trade are exogenous, as in Grossman and Helpman (1991b).…”

This study explores the heterogeneous effects of minimum wage on innovation of different types of firms. We develop an open-economy R&D-based growth model and obtain the following result: raising the minimum wage reduces innovation of firms that use domestic inputs but increases innovation of firms that import foreign inputs. Intuitively, when the minimum wage increases, importing firms substitute labor with imported inputs, which have technology spillovers and enhance their innovation. We test this result using city-level data on minimum wages and firm-level patent data in China. Finally, we find that in accordance with our theory, raising the minimum wage is associated with more innovation by importing firms and less by non-importing firms. This result survives a battery of robustness checks.

“…Second, an econometric model was constructed on the basis of the theoretical hypothesis-driven diagnosis paradigm to test the present theoretical hypothesis by using data samples collected from field investigation or by summarizing statistical data of the document. Most of the associated studies focused on the influences of IPS or IP policies on product output [9][10][11][12] and innovation level [13,14] or on enterprises' technological innovation [15,16] and production efficiency [17][18][19]. However, the traditional evaluation models, which are based on the structural information of single-file data and driven by goals and theoretical hypothesis, can only diagnose the implementation results of IPS.…”

China has implemented the intellectual property strategy since 2008 to support innovation-driven development. However, statistical data issued during the “12th Five-Year Plan” (2011–2015) showed that there are certain deviations between the actual and expected intellectual property strategy’s goals. To effectively diagnose the goal deviation, an algorithm combining the latent Dirichlet allocation and bimodal network based on policy text was proposed. In this method, topics in intellectual property policy texts of China’s provincial regions were extracted through the latent Dirichlet allocation model, and a bimodal network centered at provincial administration district-policy topics was constructed. Subsequently, the characteristics of the goal execution deviation of the IPS in the provincial government were explored based on the centrality of the bimodal network and singular value decomposition. Finally, some diagnosis results and conclusions were demonstrated to provide reasonable methods for evaluation of national strategic planning and promoting policy performance.
