Abstract
This study uses patent to measure regional innovative capacity and its changing tendency in mainland Cina. We provide an empirical analysis of patent applications from above-scale enterprises between 2008 and 2012 in China along two dimensions, geographical location and R&D intensity. We found that patents are much more elastic, than that in Japan, US and Europe. The gaps in provincial innovation capacity in China are narrowing as a whole, whereas the gaps in the central region and western region continue to grow. Furthermore, regional innovation performance can be both affected by patent application fees and R&D input.
