This paper explores the synergy effect of the government subsidies, tax incentives, and government procurement on innovation based on synergy theory, and further analyzes its path and mechanism in the process of innovation. We find that government subsidies, tax incentives, and government procurement exert positive synergy effect on innovation. Furthermore, in the process of innovation, government subsidies are shown to play strongest roles in the stages of innovation input and technological development, while government procurement is the most crucial in the transformation stage of technological innovation, and tax incentives play balanced roles. We also find that innovation resource input, innovation technology spillover, and innovation cooperation all play partial mediating roles in the synergy effect of science and technology policies on innovation. This paper applies the synergy theory to the field of innovation policies, which enriches and expands relevant researches, and provides micro-evidence for in-depth understanding of the effect of science and technology policies on innovation.
本文基于协同理论，探讨了政府补贴、税收优惠和政府釆购对创新的协同效应，进一步分析了其在创新过程中的作用路径和机制。研究结果表明，政府补贴、税收优惠和政府釆购对创新具有正向协同效应。此外，在创新过程中，政府补贴在创新投入和技术发展阶段发挥的作用最强，而政府釆购在技术创新的转化阶段最为关键，税收激励则发挥着较为均衡的作用。我们还发现，创新资源投入、创新技术溢出和创新合作在科技政策对创新的协同效应中均发挥部分中介作用。本文将协同理论应用于创新政策领域，丰富和拓展了相关研究，为深入理解科技政策对创新的影响提供了微观证据。
