Abstract:

 Based on the data of economy and population of 30 provinces and autonomous regions in China from 2000 to 2014 to study the impact of human capital mobility on the innovation level of the region by the number of patents and the output value of hightech industries, and based on the quasinatural experiment formed by this exogenous event, we explores the impact of the release of human capital mobility on the innovation activities in the region by using the policy of talent introduction from provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions since the 1990s .Through the exogenous event "quasinatural experiment" to study the release of human capital liquidity for the education investment on the impact of innovation activities, the results show that the liquidity release of human capital enhances the efficiency of investment in education, which is derived from the improvement of individual innovation. Thus, the release of human capital mobility stimulates individual innovation behavior and is an initiative to promote innovation to change from public sector innovation to universal innovation. Government departments can increase the talent through the introduction of efforts to establish personnel protection mechanism and other measures to increase human capital mobility, stimulate personal innovation and promote innovation to change the model.
