  Innovation and Growth: Bridging Time and Space
  Is innovation necessarily a sign of growth? Does growth necessarily promote innovation? The study of these two questions can be understood and interpreted from a variety of perspectives, including macroeconomics, structural economics and development economics. From an economic history perspective, economic growth is a non-linear function of time with volatility; innovation is a process accumulation and factor combination function with lags and spillovers. In terms of spatial effects, economic growth and innovation activities may have spatial heterogeneity. Therefore, it is of great academic value and practical significance to study the spatial and temporal correlation between innovation and growth. We take a look at regional innovation systems and emerging industries. The traditional literature assumes that regional innovation systems (RIS) promote the growth of regional industries. However, the question is whether RISs always operate universally and effectively across industries. This paper empirically tests the above hypothesis, revisits and responds to whether the classification of industrial innovation proposed by Pavitt (1982) can explain the pattern of innovation in China's emerging industries, and proposes a paradigm underlying innovation in emerging industries.
