ABSTRACT

This article explores the influence of partisan conflict on innovation using panel data of 48 mainland US states over the period from 1992 to 2013. A novel indicator of the US partisan conflict, first proposed by Professor Marina Azzimonti, is employed. The nonlinear nexus is tested by accommodating cubic polynomial functional forms. Results show that the relationship between partisan conflict and innovation presents an inverted N-shape with two turning points. That is, the effect might change with partisan conflict. To further study the heterogeneous impact of partisan conflict across different economic development levels, this article divides these states into high- and low-income groups. Subsample analysis concludes that the relationship between partisan conflict and innovation is inverted N-shaped in both high- and low-income groups. A comparative analysis of the turning points between these two groups is conducted. The findings contribute to previous studies in identifying the role of partisan conflict in innovation.

党派冲突会影响美国的创新吗?

摘要

本文利用 1992 年至 2013 年期间美国大陆 48 个州的面板数据探讨党派冲突对创新的影响。采用了由 Marina Azzimonti 教授首次提出的美国党派冲突的新指标。通过容纳三次多项式函数形式来测试非线性关系。结果表明,党派冲突与创新的关系呈倒N型,有两个转折点。也就是说,效果可能会随着党派冲突而改变。为了进一步研究党派冲突对不同经济发展水平的异质性影响,本文将这些州分为高收入和低收入群体。子样本分析得出结论,党派冲突与创新之间的关系在高收入和低收入群体中都是倒 N 形的。对这两组之间的转折点进行了比较分析。这些发现有助于以前的研究确定党派冲突在创新中的作用。
