That different industrial structure has different effect on industrial economy has becomes a consensus, but what are their effects haven´t been a common view. It´s still a controversy that what´s the effects that the diversity of industry acts on economic growth. Frenken argued that related variety is the real independent variable that made for inter-industry knowledge spillovers. In this paper, 2003–2008 provincial data is used to research the influence of related variety and unrelated variety on the Chinese regional industry economic, and we found that, related variety and unrelated variety both have nolinear effect on the growth of industry economic. When it comes to the actual situation in China, the lower unrelated variety and higher related variety is favorable for the economic growth.
