However, there is still lack of sufficient empirical research evidence, especially at the regional level. Taking Shanghai as the research object, this paper makes an empirical study on the relationship between the scientific skilled personnel training in universities and regional economic growth by using Translog function based on the data of human capital and economic growth from 2000 to 2017. The results show that the scientific skilled personnel training in universities can promote the improvement of education human capital, and then promote the regional economic growth. During the research period, the average contribution rate of scientific skilled personnel training to Shanghai's human capital is 61.84%, the contribution rate of human capital and the contribution rate of scientific skilled personnel training in universities to Shanghai's economic growth is between 11.8%~56.76% and 7.3%~35.1% respectively. Measures such as ensuring education investment and creating a good development environment can enhance the role of scientific skilled personnel training in universities to promote regional education human capital and economic growth.
