Abstract: This paper firstly calculates the spatial spillover effect by introducing the spatial weight matrix of economic distance, and constructs a spatial Durbin model for enterprise R&D investment; then this paper presents an empirical analysis on the spatial dependence of enterprise R&D investment based on the data of large and medium-sized industry enterprises in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China. The results show that there is spatial dependence of enterprise R&D investment, the spatial lags of government R&D subsidy, enterprise R&D investment, and net profit positively affect enterprise R&D investment, that is, enterprise R&D investment, government R&D subsidies and net profits in other regions weighted by economic distance have positive impacts on enterprise R&D investment in local region.

Key words: enterprise R&, D investment, government R&, D subsidies, spatial spillover effect, spatial Durbin model
