Abstract
In recent years, due to the development of spatial econometrics, to study the innovation agglomeration with the view of space angle is attracting more attention. Based on 31 provinces in mainland China in 2004-2013 of the patent grant data using spatial econometric knowledge to analyze spatial agglomeration of innovation output, the results showed that: The innovation output is imbalance, the eastern coastal region innovation level is far greater than the Midwest, and the polarization phenomenon aggravates gradually; from the Moran’s I index, innovation output is positive related in the space, and the geographical agglomeration phenomenon is not a random distribution, but there are specific rules; Durbin model shows that the area around the region has a significant impact on innovation output, and further calculates the strength of the influence of space effect. At last, this paper puts forward policy suggestions to improve innovation ability and make the balanced development of regional innovation.
