Abstract: Based on the data from provincial industrial enterprises in China from 2001 to 2013, this paper studies foreign trade's impact on innovation efficiency of industrial technology of the whole country, three major economic regions and each quantile. It applies quantile regression panel method to survey. Research result shows that industrial technology innovation efficiency of East China takes a leading position, while catch-up effect in Middle and West China is obvious measured with SBM model. Meanwhile it has a twin-peak feature by kernel density curve. Import trade has a lever effect on innovation efficiency of industrial technology in the nationwide situation, while export trade has a distinct crowding-out effect on innovation efficiency of industrial technology. Among the three major regions, import trade all has positive spillover effects, while export trade has a lever effect in East China and a crowding-out effect in Middle China. However spillover effect in West China depends on the location of specific quantile. Finally, based on the empirical conclusion, this paper puts forward the corresponding suggestion.

Key words: foreign trade, technological innovation efficiency, quantile regression panel, regional differences
