Abstract
Based on panel data from 2002 to 2017 in China, this paper analyses the influence of internal migration on regional innovation.
The results show that internal migration not only has a significant
promoting effect on improving regional innovation, but also
presents a significant spatial agglomeration phenomenon. That is,
internal migration has a significant positive impact on regional
innovation according to the regression without spatial effects.
And although internal migration will promote input of regional
innovation, it will also have a negative impact on output of
regional innovation. Meanwhile, internal migration will have a significant negative impact on innovation input in adjacent areas,
and a significant positive impact on innovation output. Through
decomposition, from the input of innovation, the migrant population will have a significant impact on local innovation, but it will
also inhibit the innovation input of adjacent regions through
indirect effects. Although the migrant population will have a significant negative impact on output of innovation, it will also promote innovation output significantly in adjacent regions through
indirect effects, and have a positive impact on the improvement
of overall innovation.
