This study aims to investigate how the combined implementation of innovative city and big data policies influences collaborative innovation among firms in China.
Constructed a dual-pilot quasi-natural experiment using data from Chinese listed firms.
Analyzed spatiotemporal overlap of innovative city pilot and big data comprehensive experimental areas.
Utilized double machine learning and heterogeneous treatment effects analysis.
The dual-pilot policy leads to a synergistic enhancement of firm-level collaborative innovation beyond individual policy effects.
The positive impact is stronger in non-state-owned firms and high-tech industries in Eastern China.
The mechanism analysis shows improvements in financing constraints, reduction in transaction costs, and enhanced knowledge spillovers.
