近年来,东北地区经济增长缓慢甚至出现负增长。这一现象背后隐藏着地区经济科技创新不足的原因,对其进行供给侧结构性改革需要以促创新为起点。从供给侧结构性改革五大任务之一的化解产能过剩问题出发,分析创新不足引致产能过剩的机理,提出科技创新引领东北老工业基地供给侧结构性改革的建议。 In recent years, the economic growth in Northeast China has been slow or even negative. Hidden behind this phenomenon is the reason for the lack of scientific and technological innovation in the region’s economy. To carry out supply-side structural reforms needs to promote innovation as a starting point. From one of the five major tasks of supply-side structural reform to resolve the overcapacity issue, this paper analyzes the mechanism of overcapacity caused by insufficient innovation and puts forward the suggestion that technological innovation leads the supply-side structural reform of northeast old industrial base.
