Abstract:Using 118 countries and regions as research samples,integrating five indicators such as business environment,human capital,infrastructure level,information transparency and legal regulations,and using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)to reveal the conditions that lead to innovation differences in countries with the same income level.At the same time,it will conduct exploratory research on the path of high and non-high innovation in countries with different levels of income.The paper draws the following conclusions.First,high-income countries may not produce high innovation performance.For high-income countries that produce high innovation performance,there is one configuration path,it is free market type;For middle-income countries,there are two configuration paths,they are mechanism-guided type and government-controlled type;For low-income countries,there are two configuration paths,namely market environment type and human capital type.Second,regardless of whether high-income,middle-income or low-income countries,they all need to strive to improve their market environment in order to achieve higher innovation performance.Third,the reasons for the difference in innovation performance of high-income,middle-income and low-income countries are asymmetric,and the path that causes non-high innovation performance is not the opposite of the path of high innovation performance.
