Abstract This paper establishes the theoretical and econometric models from the comprehensive view of production function theory and new economic geography. Then it uses the spatial econometric method to analyze the effects of producer services agglomeration and regional economic integration on urban innovation economic growth in Anhui province and its three adjacent metropolises in the period of 2010-2016. The results show that under the background of regional economic integration, the agglomeration and growth of innovative economy and producer services in catching-up provincial cities bear the significant impact of its adjacent metropolises in developed areas. The agglomeration of producer services has a positive spillover effect on urban innovative economic growth. Urban scale, FDI and government funding of science and technology promote urban innovation economy agglomeration and growth, while the telecommunication network has diversified spillover effects. Therefore, in order to promote the steady growth of urban innovation economy, it may be the reasonable policy options to promote regional economic integration, optimize the agglomeration and structure of producer services, accelerate the development of open economy, appropriately upgrade the scale and quality of cities, actively play the role of government financial guidance and construct the dislocation development of urban innovative economy
