Abstract
Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) is one of the important channels for companies to coordinate R&D resources at home and abroad, and it will contribute to implementing the innovation driven strategy. Based on the provincial panel data from 2009 to 2016, this paper examines the impact of OFDI on domestic regional technological innovation with the Spatial Durbin Model. The result shows that, firstly, the regional innovation indicates positive spatial autocorrelation among provinces with the spatial distribution characteristics of "high-high agglomeration" and "low-low agglomeration". Secondly, OFDI has a significantly positive effect on domestic innovation, and could greatly promote the innovation of neighboring provinces through the spatial spillover effect. Thirdly, the above results are still valid with index substitute and endogenous test.
