报告简介：

This paper investigates the impact of human capital on corporate innovation. To establish causality, we exploit a policy-induced exogenous shock in the supply of China’s college-educated workers who started working in 2003 to identify the impact of human capital on innovation. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that firms in high-skilled industries generate better innovation outcomes, as measured by patents and citations, than those in unskilled industries. Our finding is more significant when the labor market contains more science and engineering college graduates, when the quality of college education is better, and when the firm is a state-owned enterprise.
