Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the impact of university-industry collaboration on firms’ innovation performance. The empirical analysis is based on a network DEA method which is applied to a unique dataset about 400 Chinese innovative firms covering the period of 2008-2011. The results show that the frequency of collaboration affects firms’ innovation efficiency positively, while the intensity of collaboration has a U-shaped relationship with innovation efficiency, particularly in the commercialization stage. The findings also show that Chinese innovative firms didn’t show consistent performance in the two stages of innovation, namely, the R&D stage and commercialization stage. Thus overall innovation performance may be affected and policy responses in the innovation process should be stage-specific. In addition, this study provides no evidence to support that collaboration affects efficiency in the two stages differently. However the indirect effects of collaboration on efficiency moderated by regional institutional factors are different.

Abstract: China’s new rural reconstruction (NRR) is a force encouraging ecological development of village communities and economies. This production of rural space contests neo-liberal and central state governance for a possible commons mode of governance, which is a basis for emerging forms of political subjectivity. NRR’s context is post-1980 Reform and Opening’s project of rural transformation. Here Township and Village enterprises drove industrialization, featuring shareholding cooperatives (SHCs) as a mode of capital formation. In concomitant household contracting the village was contracting actor and agent of fiscal responsibility. There has been subsequent post-industrialization: a shift to services, tourism and real estate, and to post-fordist specialized production in agriculture. In seven NRR site visits we focus on the SHCs as a possible commons. We see that egalitarian, very-small-plot land distribution has been transformed - against neoliberal agribusiness and real estate - into small business development. This potential smallholders’ commons, enabling peasants to be village stakeholders, has a cultural basis in ancestral filiality. It refers to a Buddhist-inflected Neo-Confucianism, which infuses rural reconstruction intellectuals’ and our own critical theory.
