Abstract
We theoretically explore the dynamism of transformation from global manufacturing center into global innovation center, and empirically examine how manufacturing agglomeration affects innovation output of the Yangtze River Delta, employing expanded Feldman and Florida’s geographic innovation function (1994). The results demonstrate that manufacturing agglomeration significantly enhances innovation activities, such as industrial R&D activities and technology transaction, and at the same time R&D activities of enterprises, universities and research institutions interact and reinforce with each other. Regional innovation capability is jointly determined by all R&D activities within the region as well as international and interregional technological spillovers. This paper attempts to investigate the progressive and systematic transformation of the Yangtze River Delta from global manufacturing center to global innovation center.
