Abstract

The spillover from university R&D to enterprise technological innovation is the key to establish the regional innovation system. Based on 30 provincial panel data from 1997 to 2007, the spillover effect of university R&D on enterprises' technological innovation in China is analyzed from overall and regional perspectives. The results show that the effects on both enterprise patent and new product innovations are significant; its effect on new product innovation from east and middle parts of China is significant, however its effect on patent innovation in west part of China is significant; it shows that the endogenous innovative capability of enterprises in east part of China is much better than that in middle part of China, and west parts of China goes last; the current labor-intensive economy hinders enterprise innovations.
