Abstract:

The construction of mass entrepreneurship and innovation bases implemented in China since 2016 is an innovation incentive policy with Chinese characteristics. Taking the listed companies in the mass entrepreneurship and innovation bases as the research object, the economic benefits after the establishment of the national mass entrepreneurship and innovation bases from a unique perspective are revealed and evaluated. Based on China Stock Market & Accounting Research (CSMAR) database and RESSET database, 417 listed companies related to the mass entrepreneurship and innovation bases were collected from Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange to investigate whether their overall financial performance has improved after the establishment of the mass entrepreneurship and innovation bases. Based on the measurement and internal comparison of the overall financial performance of the listed companies in the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base, the method of propensity score matching (PSM) combined with difference in difference (DID) is adopted to match the control samples for the listed companies in the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base in each year, and then the difference analysis is carried out to remove the influence of external factors, so as to get the net growth. The conclusions are as follows: (1) On the whole, since the establishment of the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base in 2016, although the overall financial performance of the listed companies in the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base has gradually declined, it has significantly improved compared with the control group; (2) Structurally, the financial performance of the listed companies in the enterprise Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base and the regional Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base has significantly improved compared with the control group, but the financial performance of the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base in universities and scientific research institutes has not significantly improved Compared with the control group, the effect is decreased; (3) The establishment of the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base significantly promoted the financial performance of the listed companies in the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base, and its net interest rate and the deduct non-net interest rate increased by 3.2% and 3.3% respectively. The research shows that the listed companies in the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base can still maintain relative growth comparing to similarly companies under the condition of great economic downward pressure, which has a certain degree of driving effect on economic development. So it means that the construction of demonstration bases has been fruitful since 2016. This study has significant meaning to promote the theoretical research of innovation incentive policy, and provides empirical evidence for the evaluation of innovation incentive policy.
