The productivity gains generated by innovation are the root cause of long-term economic growth. In this paper, two empirical hypotheses are proposed to clarify our view: the trade turnover of technology market and intellectual property protection are important factors to stimulate innovation; The main channel of communication is through the increase of research staff and R&D funds. The empirical research result show that: (1) The greater the technology trade volume, the greater the incentive to regional innovation activities, the greater the number of regional patents; (2) About the intellectual property protection, The higher the protection intensity is, the greater the incentive is to regional innovation activities and the greater the number of regional patents. Different from relevant researches, this paper discusses the decisive role of market activity and legal environment on regional innovation behavior from the perspective of technology trade and patent protection, and emphasizes the theoretical significance of market and legal system from a more general perspective.
创新带来的生产率提高是长期经济增长的根本原因。本文提出两个实证假设来阐明我们的观点：技术市场的贸易成交额和知识产权保护是刺激创新的重要因素；主要的传导渠道是通过研究人员数量的增加和研发资金投入。实证研究结果表明：（1）技术贸易量越大，对区域创新活动的激励越大，区域专利数量越多；（2）关于知识产权保护，保护强度越高，对区域创新活动的激励越大，区域专利数量越多。与相关研究不同的是，本文从技术贸易和专利保护的角度探讨了市场活动和法律环境对区域创新行为的决定性作用，并从更一般的视角强调了市场和法律制度的理论意义。
