Abstract
The growing number of international students coming to China has injected new vitality into the development of an innovative economy in the mainland. In this paper, we employ a panel fixed-effect model to examine how international students affect China's technological innovation. Our paper finds that international students in China have significantly promoted urban innovation in China, reflected not only in the expansion of urban innovation scale but also in the improvement of the urban patent structure and innovation quality. This highlights the need to increase the scale of international education and improve the quality of international education.
