产学研合作的管理是产学研合作成功的关键。在这方面，政府可以在UIC中发挥重要作用。公共研发补贴不仅是高校的重要财政支持，而且是促进高校成员之间信任的有效手段，从而提高高校的创新绩效。然而，很少有实证研究考察公共研发补贴对企业信任的促进作用。为此，本研究利用原始调查数据，实证检验公共研发补贴是否有助于信任的形成，从而提高基于信任的创新绩效。研究发现，公共研发补贴促进了信任的形成，信任的形成提高了企业创新绩效，部分中介了研发补贴对企业创新绩效的直接影响。
Management of university–industry research collaboration (hereafter UIC) is the key to its success. In this respect, government can play an essential role in UIC. A public subsidy for research and development (hereafter R&D) is not only an important financial support for UIC but may also serve as a useful means of promoting trust among UIC members, resulting in higher innovation performance. However, few empirical studies have investigated the role a public R&D subsidy plays in promoting trust in UIC. To this end, by using original survey data, this study examines empirically whether a public R&D subsidy for UIC contributes to trust formation and, thus, to higher innovation performance based on trust. Our findings suggest that a public R&D subsidy promotes trust formation, which then increases the innovation performance of UIC participants, partially mediating the more direct effects of R&D subsidy on innovation performance.
