After the founding of new China, China’s infrastructure have great change on the basis of the original, especially since the reform and opening up the country each year put a lot of fund to infrastructure.Compared to before the reform and opening up, we can say China’s infrastructure has undergone enormous changes.Infrastructure as a national and local investment, whether it will produce the effect of technological progress, how the impact of technological progress, these problems are not concerned about. In particular, such as China is booming, a large country, the infrastructure in recent years significant growth, technological progress has also been greatly improved, the former to the latter, and also how they work, this article attempts from this a problem to start the study, in order to compensate for the defects of the existing literature, in order to make their own due contribution margin.Theoretically inherited the common analysis of the dimension of the original technological progress, technological innovation and technology spillovers dimensions, broaden its analytical framework, this article also on the basis of that factor allocation should also be a dimension of technological progress, this paper establishes the corresponding theoretical model to analyze the effect of the infrastructure to the factor allocation. Based on previous studies, a large number of literatures to sort out technical innovation, technology spillovers, the three dimensions of the factor allocation to create a detailed theoretical framework, theoretical research has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent empirical analysis. Fourth, fifth, sixth chapter on the basis of the theoretical framework to build an empirical model to test the results of the theoretical analysis, the study found:Transport infrastructure, energy infrastructure, communications infrastructure on the regional level of technological innovation have a significant positive impact; impact of energy infrastructure is the most prominent, suggesting that the energy infrastructure the most important role in promoting the area of technological innovation.All infrastructure have the positive effects to the technology spillovers of the R&D activities. And all infrastructure have the positive effects to the technology spillovers of the patent activity, the positive role of the communications infrastructure is the most prominent.The sample-wide research have found that the infrastructure have significant role in promoting technology spillover of FDI,and the communications infrastructure has the most significant, energy infrastructure has weaker influence. The sub-sample test showed that in the eastern region, the infrastructure, the impact of FDI technology spillovers performed better communications infrastructure is the most obvious impact; most prominent in the central region, the performance of highway infrastructure; in the west areas, infrastructure for FDI technology spillover effects was not significant, this may be the weak infrastructure in the western region, FDI into less relevant.Four infrastructure efficiency of capital allocation with a positive impact of infrastructure can promote the flow of capital, improve capital allocation efficiency, and the effect of the communications infrastructure of the allocation of capital is the most typical. Four infrastructure are significant positive impact on the efficiency of labor allocation, the stock of infrastructure can accelerate the movement of labor to a certain extent, promote the enhancement of the efficiency of labor allocation. Road infrastructure and railway infrastructure on the efficiency of allocative labor, indicating that transport infrastructure especially in promoting labor mobility, and improve the efficiency of labor allocation, especially in such a positive effect of the railway is more obvious...
