【 摘 要 】

Based on the panel data of seven economically developed regions in China from 2006 to 2015, the STATA 15.0 is used to study the direct and indirect effects of the R&D center aggregation level on regional innovation capability by the fixed-effect regression method. The results show that, from its direct impact, active establishment of multinational companies R&D centers and their agglomeration would positively influence regional technological innovation ability. From the indirect effect, the aggregation of R&D center of MNCs improves regional innovation ability through the flow and agglomeration of talents, research and development funds. Finally, based on the research results, relevant suggestions are put forward.
