AbstractScience and technology parks (STPs) are established to promote the firm innovation performance via agglomeration economy and government support in China. On‐site qualified firms obtain government R&D funding as a type of government support, and they are offered differential innovation service caused by the differential capabilities of sub‐parks which scatter throughout a single city. It is debatable whether those government supports at firm and sub‐park levels can promote firm innovation capabilities. This study takes Zhangjiang National Innovation Demonstration Zone, Shanghai as an example. It applies a Tobit regression model to analyse the databases of Zhangjiang Annual Sampling Survey of Firms 2015 and Zhangjiang Development Report 2015. We find out at the firm level, government R&D funding has a significant and positive influence on firms' innovation, but government R&D funding generates a crowing‐out effect the innovation performance of on‐site firms with more R&D investment themselves. At the sub‐park level, innovation service agencies of sub‐parks do not exert an important role in influencing firms' innovation, and they even have negative moderating effects on the relationship between firm R&D investment and firm innovation performance. It reflects the mismatch between innovation service of STPs and firms' needs in China.

Dietary medicinal herbs (DMHs) are superior reservoirs for natural antioxidants and safe for long‐term consumption. Chinese government recently announced an official list of traditional Chinese DMHs to support civil health promotion. However, antioxidative capacity (AOC) and total phenol contents (TPC) of these listed herbs were not comprehensively and systematically evaluated. In this study, AOC of 94 listed DMHs in water extract were investigated by three techniques including radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidative power. The results showed that emblic leafflower, rose, and clove possessed the highest AOC, while TPC was significantly correlated with AOC. While traditional Chinese medicines are categorized by the nature of Yin‐Yang, this study demonstrated that Yin DMHs are statistically correlated with high AOC.

While traditional Chinese medicines are categorized by the nature of Yin‐Yang, this study demonstrated that Yin DMHs are statistically correlated with high AOC. Practical application: In this study, AOC and TPC of 94 traditional Chinese DMHs were documented systematically. Emblic leafflower, rose and clove were shown to possess the highest AOC. TPC in traditional Chinese DMHs was significantly correlated with the AOC, while DMHs with Yin characteristic might be used as an indicator to identify potential antioxidative herbs.
