在当前国内外环境错综复杂和新冠疫情冲击的影响下,企业发展面临的不确定性走高,给投资风险高、周期较长的企业创新活动带来了不利影响。同时,恢复经济活力需要企业可持续创新的支撑,而降低企业对不确定性的担忧对于促进创新至关重要。作为近年来“放管服”改革的重要内容,政府信息公开对界定政府权责范围和为市场主体营造稳定可预期的经营环境发挥着关键作用。基于此,文章考察了政府政务信息公开对企业创新的影响。文章构建了企业在政策不确定性环境下的研发和生产决策理论模型,阐述了政府信息公开对企业研发创新的影响机制。在此基础上,利用地方政府信息公开试点这一准自然实验,构造了双重差分模型,实证发现:地方政府信息公开显著提高了企业专利申请量,特别是促进了高质量专利申请,且对非国有、融资约束较高及大型企业影响更强;政府信息公开对创新的激励效应是通过降低政策不确定性和提高企业信心实现的;政府信息公开还通过推动研发创新进一步提高了企业全要素生产率水平。在全球经济社会不确定性风险加大的背景下,文章的研究对政府改善营商环境、提振企业信心、促进经济复苏和企业发展提供了参考。
