Abstract: Abstract As a panacea for solving the negative externalities of innovation, responsible innovation has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. The prior research has studied the concepts, methods, applications, and influence factors of responsible innovation. However, few studies have investigated the driving role of innovative factor inputs in the process of enterprise responsible innovation. Our study using input and output data is based on Chinese industrial enterprises from 2011 to 2015 to measure the growth drivers of enterprise responsible innovation by building a nonparametric decomposition framework. The results are as follows: first, at the national level, the contribution of factor input to the responsible innovation of industrial enterprises is higher than that of total factor productivity. Second, at the regional level, R&D capital and personnel investment have promoted the growth of industrial enterprises responsible innovation in the eastern region, and the responsible innovation of industrial enterprises in the central and western regions mainly comes from R&D capital investment. Third, at the provincial level, the responsible innovation model of industrial enterprises in most provinces has changed from extensive to intensive. The increase in total factor productivity is the main driving force for the transformation of the industrial enterprises' responsible innovation model.
