“…Regarding scale and layout, Chinese parks tend to be larger, encompassing a wide range of agricultural industries, and aligned with the geographical distribution of China's population. In contrast, international agricultural science and technology parks may be smaller, with a focus on specific agricultural fields or technology clusters, as observed in Japan and the Netherlands [65,66]. Policy support and management mechanisms also vary across countries and regions.…”

This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and innovation efficiency of national agricultural science and technology parks (NASTPs) and identify the main influencing factors on the parks’ innovation and development. The goal is to optimize the allocation of science and technology innovation resources in these parks, promote national agricultural science and technology innovation, and enhance the quality of agricultural development. To achieve this, the paper employs spatial analysis methods and a three-stage DEA-Tobit model to conduct both macro and micro-level analyses. The research findings are as follows: (1) Distribution characteristics: NASTPs tend to exhibit a uniform distribution at the national scale, but at the provincial level, their distribution appears clustered and uneven. Specifically, three high-density areas and two sub-high-density areas have emerged on the eastern side of the Hu line, displaying a decreasing trend from east to west. (2) Innovation efficiency: By excluding the influence of environmental factors and random interference, the lack of scale efficiency (SE) emerges as the primary reason for the generally low innovation efficiency of NASTPs. (3) Environmental factors: Science and technology training exhibits a negative correlation with innovation efficiency in NASTPs. Leading enterprises, income level, innovation support, and demonstration and promotion show positive correlations with IE in NASTPs. To promote national agricultural science and technology innovation and enhance the quality of agricultural development, it is recommended, based on a central-level development perspective, to focus on the layout of the northeast and northwest regions. At the local level, expanding the scale of key enterprise inputs and increasing the demonstration and promotion of scientific and technological achievements are recommended. Additionally, at the NASTPs level, guiding the construction of a national agricultural high-tech industry demonstration zone is advised.

“…While there is more agreement among scholars on the agglomeration effects of science and technology parks in general (Rodríguez‐Pose & Hardy, 2014), there is inconclusiveness in prior studies on the effectiveness of STP as a “one‐size‐fits‐all” policy instrument (e.g., Albahari, 2015; Ng et al, 2022) to stimulate performance of tenant firms, because of their heterogeneity and hence the debate in the STP literature is far from reaching consensus (Albahari et al, 2022). Second, in the extant literature on science parks, there is scarcity of empirical, panel‐data studies that offer a comparative analysis of performance of STPs, by taking a broader set of STP and regional characteristics (e.g., Shin, 2001).…”

This study investigates determinants of science and technology parks (STPs) performance in China. We estimate dynamic panel data models on a sample comprising 53 STPs for 2008 – 2018. FDI and human capital impact labor productivity and innovation of STPs and explain differences in performance among them. We find evidence for beta‐ and sigma‐convergence of labor productivity and beta‐, but not sigma‐convergence of innovation. Our study provides novel insights for research on STPs and innovation policy regarding heterogeneity in performance of STPs, and specifically, some evidence concerning formation of ‘clubs’ of STPs based on the city‐tier system in China.

It is practically consensual that universities contribute to economic and social growth; therefore, they nowadays need to play a more active role in answering the changing needs of society. In addition, universities hold the potential to promote regional innovation through their influence over the ecosystems they participate in. This article aims to identify, analyse and integrate the historical approaches of university ecosystems and university roles through a systematic literature review. The findings identify four different periods: (i) University-Industry collaboration (until 2000); (ii) changing the university model into a triple-helix model (2001–2010); (iii) from the triple to the quadruple-helix model in the knowledge society (2011–2020); and (iv) ecosystem complexity and the Neo Triple-Helix Model (from 2021). The study contributes to the literature on universities and the ecosystem by providing a unified perspective on the importance of the university’s role in the economic and social growth of the knowledge business and the evolution of the ecosystem. These results provide an overview of the trends in university ecosystems, including an integrative framework, research themes, and research questions able to guide future studies.
