Abstract:Based on the panel data of 90 counties in Zhejiang province from 2005 to 2015, this paper analyzes the spatial distribution characteristics of innovation at county level in Zhejiang province by entropy weight synthesis index method, and identifies the hot spot space and inert space of innovation; the efficiency level of innovation space is further evaluated by means of data envelopment analysis, and the adaptive innovation ecological environment which is conducive to the promotion of innovation vitality is explored by using the binary selection model, and the innovation-driven development mechanism and promotion path in Zhejiang are sought. The empirical results show that, the innovation hot spots in Zhejiang are increasingly concentrated in the northeast, the innovation efficiency of each county shows an upward trend, but there is regional differentiation. The role of government in promoting innovation efficiency is significantly greater than that of talent reserve and industrial upgrading, at the same time, innovation atmosphere, entrepreneurial innovation spirit also has a positive impact on innovation efficiency in all counties and districts, and the quality of financial environment, there is a negative correlation between the risk-bearing capacity and the regional innovation efficiency of each county.
