[Abstract] This paper investigates the impact of human capital on corporate innovation. To establish causality, we exploit a policy-induced exogenous shock in the supply of China s college-educated workforce that started in identify the impact of 2003 to human capital on innovation. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that firms in high-skilled industries generate better innovation outcomes measured by patents and citations. Our finding is more significant when there are more science and engineering college graduates in the labor market, when the quality of better college education is, and when the firm is a SOE.
