Abstract

Second, the knowledge accumulation effect on knowledge production efficiency is substantial. Third, the state-owned sector has an important role in fundamental innovation. Most importantly, accessibility to knowledge is important in realizing the benefit of the non-rivalry of knowledge. Hence, it is pivotal that the Chinese government adopt an open innovation approach and keep moving along its plan of reform and opening up [All sources are published on-line except for NSO, which is available upon request].
