Use Cases

• Testing the 'decentralization inhibition theory' on enterprise innovation based on the described fiscal decentralization metrics.
• Analyzing the mediating role of local government innovation preference between fiscal policy and corporate outcomes.
• Investigating property-right heterogeneity in innovation effects, comparing state-owned and private enterprises.
• Modeling the 'crowding-out effect' of government innovation incentives on private enterprise R&D.

Strengths

• Data covers a 9-year time range from 2015 to 2023.
• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
