Do external technology sourcing and industrial agglomeration successfully facilitate an increase in the innovation performance of high-tech industries in China?

External technology sourcing and industrial agglomerations are important development factors and location characteristics of high-tech industries in the context of open innovation. Based on interprovincial panel data on China's high-tech industries from 2009 to 2014, this paper explores the eff...
