Abstract Based on the panel data of 282 prefecture-level cities ( municipal districts ) from 2011 to 2020, the study uses a two-way fixed-effect model to examine the impact of differentiated urban public service supply on regional innovation. The results show that the urban public service supply has a significant promoting effect on the regional innovation level measured by the total amount of patent grant. The mechanism analysis indicates that Urban public services, such as education, medical care and transportation infrastructure, promote regional innovation mainly by attracting talents and industrial agglomeration. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that this positive effect is more significant in first-and second-tier cities and cities with higher financial self-sufficiency rate. And its promoting effect is positively correlated with the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries in the region. In particular, the proportion of the tertiary industry has a greater impact on regional innovation.The above conclusions provide practical basis and policy reference for governments to attract talents and industrial agglomeration by improving the level of public service supply, so as to promote regional innovation.
