Abstract

The coordinated development among government guidance, industrial innovation and scientific research systems has a profound impact on scientific and technological innovation. By constructing a triple helix evaluation index system covering 3 first-class indicators and 32 second-class indicators, this study calculates the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of the triple helix of government (G), industry (I) and university (U) in China from 2010 to 2020, analyzes its time change trend and spatial regional differences, and discusses macro influencing factors. The findings are as follows: First, the coordinated development of government guidance, industrial innovation and scientific research subsystems is low. Although the CCD of triple helix of GIU has been improved, it is still in a mild imbalance state. The CCD of triple helix of GIU in the eastern region is the highest, and that in the western region is the lowest. The CCD of triple helix of GIU in the central region grows the fastest, and that in the northeast region grows the slowest. Secondly, informationization level, opening to the outside world, urbanization level, market demand and economic development are the main influencing factors of the CCD of triple helix of GIU, but these factors have heterogeneous influences on different regions.
