Abstract

There is a considerable literature suggesting that business incubator is an important facilitator for innovation which provide office space, equipment and mentoring services. Should the emerging economies encourage the development of business incubators in order to promote the development of domestic innovation performance? This paper investigates the effects of business incubator capacities on the regional innovation performance, using a panel of 31 Chinese provinces. This study finds that the development of business incubators’ capabilities has a significant impact on the regional innovation performance. Moreover, this study also identifies that regional communication infrastructure is an important moderator of the relationship between the development of business incubators capacities on the regional innovation performance.
