Abstract :
The human capital level is an important factor that affects national innovation capacity. The formation and accumulation of human capital are mainly from higher education. Selecting the number of patents to represent national innovation capacity, and the number of college students to represent human capital, using Johansen co-integration test and Granger causality test, we have a correlation analysis between the number of college students and patents in China. The result shows there exists a long-term equilibrium between the number of college students and patents in China. The number of college student is the Granger cause of patents.
