基于中国30省市10年的面板数据，运用STATA统计分析软件实证检验了市场竞争程度、政府R&D投入力度和知识产权保护强度与区域创新绩效的关系，研究发现：（1）减少地方保护可以有效的促进区域创新绩效的提升，非国有经济发展程度与区域创新绩效关系不显著。（2）从政府行为来看，知识产权保护对区域创新绩效具有正向影响，R&D投入对区域创新绩效有负面影响。本文详细分析了其中的原因并在此基础上就如何提升区域创新绩效提出了有针对性的建议和对策。

Based on 30 provincial data from 2000 to 2009, and by using STATA, the relation between market competition, government R&D input, intellectual property rights protection and regional innovation performance in China was investigated in the paper. This study found out that: (1) reducing local protection is positively related to regional innovation performance but the effect of non-state-owned economy development degree is not significant. (2) From the point of government behavior, the protection of intellectual property rights will improve regional innovation performance, but R&D investment will have a negative effect on regional innovation performance. This paper analyzes the reasons and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve regional innovation performance.
