Regional Innovation Networks in Construction Industry and Its Mechanisms: Facing the Formation of New Quality Productivity

The new quality productivity in the construction industry includes construction robots, HumanMachine/Computer Interfaces, new energy construction machinery, etc., which can promote the green and high-quality development of the construction industry. The process of technological innovation in the formation of new quality productivity is highly complex, requiring industrial innovation actors to dynamically respond to various factors in the industry and deeply integrated themselves into the regional innovation network. Based on patent data, this study constructs an innovation network of new quality productivity in the construction industry, using the dynamic capability theory to explain the linkage mechanisms of the innovation network. The negative binomial regression is used for empirical analysis. The results show that: (1) Geographical proximity and institutional proximity always promote cooperative innovation, and the significance of industrial proximity and technological proximity fluctuates. (2) The effect of policy support is relatively significant, while the effect of environmental policy is not significant. (3) The two regions with strong industrial innovation ability tend to collaborate. (4) Social and economic factors all have a certain influence in a certain period of time. This study has implications for regional construction innovation and the formation of new quality productivity.
