Exploring the Role of University-Run Enterprises in Technology Transfer from Chinese Universities
研究中国大学校办企业（URE）的声誉如何影响技术转移绩效，基于2002-2006年195所大学的面板数据，发现URE声誉能调节科学家和企业的贡献。
ABSTRACT Universities in China have increased their entrepreneurship significantly, yet a good understanding of the specific characteristics of university-based technology transfers remains missing. This study focuses on a special type of university spinoffs in China, University-Run Enterprises (UREs), and examines how URE eminence contributes to a university's technology transfer performance, using panel data covering 195 universities over the five years from 2002 to 2006. The findings reveal that URE eminence not only signifies a university's strong entrepreneurial culture, but also signals commercial values and quality of the university research. It moderates the contribution of university scientists from the supply side and that of sourcing firms from the demand side.
