Further, macroeconomic uncertainty has a negative effect on the scale of innovation flows and the absorptive capacity in eastern cities. However, it has no significant impact on the innovation network characteristics in developed cities. In contrast, macroeconomic uncertainty is detrimental for the absorptive capacity and node importance in inland and undeveloped cities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>As macroeconomic uncertainty increases, it is important to improve the quality of the urban innovation network with a

content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study highlights a clear and distinctive view that macroeconomic uncertainty not only directly affects the evolution
