Abstract

This study integrates artificial intelligence and econometric modeling to develop an intelligent
framework for identifying intercity collaborative innovation in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). A key contribution is the construction of an Institutional Cooperation Index (ICI) that quantifies institutional collaboration between cities through a hybrid expert-scoring and machine learning approach, normalized to [0,1] with an optimized threshold of 0.4 for effective cooperation classification. To reduce subjectivity, AI-based normalization and random perturbation simulation are applied, and validation shows strong correlations between the ICI, R&D intensity, and industrial upgrading. Logistic and Probit regressions are employed as AI classifiers to predict collaboration probabilities using features such as economic linkage, institutional synergy, spatial proximity, and industrial complementarity. NLP techniques extract institutional cooperation features from policy documents, and rare-event correction with network-robust validation ensures prediction stability. Results reveal that institutional cooperation significantly enhances intercity innovation, exhibiting threshold and nonlinear effects. Overall, the AI-driven modeling framework bridges institutional design, network interaction, and innovation outcomes, offering a computationally interpretable foundation for optimizing regional cooperation and intelligent policy decisions in the GBA.
