Abstract: By investigating 46 industrial clusters in 286 Chinese cities, this paper shows that: (1) regional innovation occurs mainly in traded industrial clusters; (2) regional innovation is positively related to the level of industrial cluster specialization but irrelevant to industrial cluster diversification; (3) R&D is consistently conducive to regional innovation.
