Abstract: Abstract Based on the data of various provinces in China from 1996 to 2018, this article empirically tests the impact of transportation infrastructure on innovation capabilities. The empirical results show that the impact of transportation infrastructure on regional innovation capability is positive and significant, and this impact has a very significant lag effect. In addition, the impact of transportation infrastructure on regional innovation capabilities has obvious regional heterogeneity, which is more pronounced in the relatively backward economy in western China. Finally, we analyzed the mechanism of transportation infrastructure on regional innovation capabilities by constructing an intermediary effect model.
