The Diffusion Effect on Regional Technology in China: An Empirical Study Using Panel Data

Abstract

This empirical study investigates the diffusion effect of technology across regions in China, utilizing panel data analysis to examine the dynamics of technological dissemination and its impact on regional development. Drawing upon a comprehensive dataset spanning multiple years and regions, we analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of technology diffusion, identifying key drivers and mechanisms that facilitate the spread of innovation across geographical boundaries. Through econometric modeling and statistical analysis, we assess the extent to which technology diffusion contributes to regional economic growth, industrial transformation, and innovation performance. Furthermore, we explore the moderating effects of factors such as geographical proximity, industrial structure, institutional environment, and government policies on the diffusion process. Our findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to leverage technology diffusion as a driver of regional development and economic convergence in China.
