Abstract: Based on the panel data of university-industry collaboration (UIC) from China’s 29 provinces during 1998-2008, using the output variable of UIC patent to construct a stochastic frontier knowledge production function model, the paper explores the impact on knowledge production efficiency by factors in the context of mode Ⅱ, such as application-oriented, interdisciplinary research, participants heterogeneity and organizational diversity, and compares the average efficiency and marginal effect among regions. The results show that the regional knowledge production efficiency demonstrates the pattern: East> Central> West; The investment of human and capital from enterprise show significant positive effect, while knowledge stock from university has much larger contribution to knowledge production, and the process exhibits the feature of diminishing marginal effect; Application-oriented has a significant positive impact on knowledge production, but remaining the regional and time differentiation; Application-oriented and participants heterogeneity have greater marginal impact on the eastern region, the marginal effect of eastern enterprises participate in knowledge production is more significant than the central and western regions, while government intervention in UIC have long-lasting positive effects on knowledge production in central and western regions.
