STAR Market Listing, Technological Positioning, and High-Quality Corporate Innovation
-
摘要: 科创板作为注册制改革的重要制度创新平台,以“硬科技”定位和强化信息披露为核心设计,旨在破解传统IPO下的“创新低迷”问题。基于2017—2022年中国科创板上市公司的微观数据,采用双重差分模型评估科创板上市对企业高质量创新的影响。研究发现:企业登陆科创板初期并未如预期般实现创新质量的跃升,反而收缩高风险、长周期的探索性研发,转向更易产出的策略性创新。机制分析表明,科创板相关制度安排主要通过两条渠道影响企业的创新决策:一是上市后市场估值压力促使企业重新配置研发资源,二是更为严格的信息披露要求改变了企业管理层的风险承担意愿。异质性检验显示,信息透明度的提升强化了行业内知识外溢效应,从而有利于技术追赶型企业改善创新绩效;但对处于技术前沿的领先企业而言,披露成本上升及核心技术外泄风险反而对其高质量创新形成抑制。动态分析揭示,上述负向影响主要集中于上市初期阶段,并随着企业的战略逐步调整而有所缓解。研究结论从微观层面丰富了注册制改革背景下信息披露制度与企业创新行为之间关系的经验证据,也为在促进资本市场透明度的同时更有效激励高质量技术创新提供了有针对性的政策启示。Abstract: As a key institutional innovation platform in the reform of the registration-based IPO system, the STAR Market (Science and Technology Innovation Board) is aimed to address the issue of "innovation stagnation" under the traditional IPO framework through the design focused on "hard technology" positioning and enhanced information disclosure. Based on micro-level data of Chinese firms listed on the STAR Market from 2017 to 2022, this paper employs a difference-in-differences model to evaluate the impact of STAR Market listing on firms' high-quality innovation. The findings show that firms do not experience an expected leap in innovation quality immediately after listing, while they reduce high-risk, long-term exploratory R & D and shift toward more easily achievable strategic innovation. Mechanism analysis indicates that the STAR Market's institutional arrangements influence firms' innovation decisions mainly through two channels: post-listing market valuation pressures compelling firms to reallocate R & D resources, and stricter information disclosure requirements altering management's risk-taking willingness. Heterogeneity tests reveal that increased information transparency strengthens knowledge spillovers within industries, which benefits technology-following firms in improving innovation performance, however, for technology-leading firms at the frontier, higher disclosure costs and risks of core technology leakage suppress their high-quality innovation. Dynamic analysis uncovers that these negative effects are concentrated mainly in the early post-listing period and ease as firms gradually adjust their strategies. This study enriches empirical evidence at the micro-level regarding the relationship between information disclosure systems and corporate innovation behavior under the registration-based reform, and provides targeted policy implications for more effectively incentivizing high-quality technological innovation while promoting capital market transparency.
