Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the characteristics of spatial distribution and changing trend of regional R&D expenditure in China during 1998-2004. In doing so, the authors have analysed both regional total R&D expenditure and its two components, that is, governmental R&D and business R&D expenditures, by means of spatial concentration index, variation coefficient, Gini coefficient, etc. We found that: 1) regional total R&D expenditure has a constant spatial clustering during 1998-2004; 2) governmental R&D expenditure appears to be more agglomerative (than business R&D expenditure) with a tendency of spatial equilibrium; 3) while business R&D expenditure was initially less agglomerative, it is characterised with a tendency of more and more spatial non-equilibrium.
