Abstract: This paper aims to examine the impact of knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) on innovation in China. First, we review the development of KIBS in China by analysing the agglomeration, utilization and quality of KIBS. Second, regression techniques are employed to investigate the impact of KIBS on innovation in the Chinese economy. We found that KIBS are becoming a major force in promoting innovation, especially in eastern China. Furthermore, we also found that the effect of KIBS on innovation is highly related to the average level of human capital. Given the findings in this study, we made some policy suggestions.
