Abstract

Under the background of factor-driven to innovation-driven, urban innovation is very important in the regional development pattern.In this paper, Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are taken as the research objects. Based on the co-authored data of papers among cities, a theoretical knowledge innovation network is constructed.With the help of social network analysis method, the overall characteristics and network centrality are compared and analyzed, thus revealing the development status of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area knowledge innovation network.The empirical research shows that: (1) During the research period, the overall density and agglomeration capacity of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area theoretical knowledge innovation cooperation network are higher than those of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration. (2) Dual-core cities Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have significant innovation polarization effects.
