围绕知识溢出对公司创新绩效的影响这一主题，已经出现了大量文献。然而，很少有文献对跨国知识溢出对创新质量的影响进行研究，特别是从有意识和无意识的角度进行研究。此外，事实证明，吸收能力对创新质量起着至关重要的作用，但知识溢出与吸收能力之间的关系及其对创新质量的影响尚待确定。因此，本研究界定了跨国知识溢出，并将其区分为非自愿与自愿，分析了其对东道国高新技术产业创新质量的影响，并构建了以吸收能力为调节变量的理论模型。同时，本研究收集了2010-2017年中国高技术制造业的数据进行实证分析，主要结果如下：随着无意识跨国知识溢出的增加，高技术制造业的创新质量先下降后上升。反之，随着有意识的跨国知识溢出的增加，高技术制造业的创新质量先上升后下降。令人印象深刻的是，吸收能力对跨国知识溢出与东道国高新技术产业创新质量之间的关系具有显着的正向调节作用。
A considerable literature has grown up around the theme of the impact of knowledge spillover on the firm's innovation performance. Nevertheless, few literatures draw on any research into the impact of transnational knowledge spillover on innovation quality, especially from conscious and unconscious perspectives. What's more, it has been proven that absorptive capacity plays a crucial role on innovation quality, while the relationship between knowledge spillover and absorptive capacity and its impact on innovation quality have yet to be identified. This study therefore defines the transnational knowledge spillover and distinguishes it from involuntary to voluntary, analyzes their impact on the innovation quality of high-tech industries in host countries, and builds a theoretical model that involves absorptive capacity as the moderating variable. Meanwhile, this study collects data on China's high-tech manufacturing industries from 2010 to 2017 to conduct an empirical analysis and the main results were described as following: with an increase in unconscious transnational knowledge spillover, the innovation quality of high-tech manufacturing industries firstly decreases and then increases. Conversely, with an increase in conscious transnational knowledge spillover, the innovation quality of high-tech manufacturing industries firstly increases and then decreases. Impressively, absorptive capacity has a significant positive moderating effect on the relationship between transnational knowledge spillover and the innovation quality of high-tech industries in host countries.
