Abstract

Science Park normally offers positive externality to its industrial firms owing to the effects of clustering and location. In order to examine the effect of innovative environment on the innovative activities, this paper adopts several indexes for innovative input, output and efficiency to compare the high-technology firms inside and outside of the science park. Empirical results show that the performance of the high-technology firms inside the Science Park is generally better than the firms outside in terms of the innovative indexes used in this paper.
