Abstract: Innovation-driven strategies are an important support for achieving high-quality innovation in national high-tech zones, and have become a key support for the transformation and development of national high-tech zones. However, in-depth research is needed on what impact they have on high-quality innovation. The quasi-natural experiment method was adopted to empirically test the influence of innovation-driven strategies on high-quality innovation, and the role of scientific and technological funds and talent elements was further analyzed in this process. It was shown that innovation-driven strategies have significantly promoted the high-quality innovation of national high-tech zones, and this effect has been significantly strengthened by gathering scientific and technological funds and talent elements. Moreover, it was found that innovation-driven strategies have significant impacts on the high-quality innovation of high-tech zones. There exist the heterogeneity of growth cycles and the heterogeneity of development positioning, that is, the innovation-driven strategies of “immature” and “non-world-class” high-tech zones have more significant impacts on high-quality innovation.

Key words: national high-tech zone; innovation-driven strategy; high-quality innovation; quasi-natural experiment
