Abstract Based on the data of A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020,this paper constructs empirical panel data containing macroeconomic policy uncertainty indicators,local government and listed company characteristics variables,and illustrates the mechanism of economic policy uncertainty's influence on firms' innovation behavior from the perspective of government competition.The study found that economic policy uncertainty has a positive effect on enterprise innovation and the impact is heterogeneous.The incentive effect on innovation input of state-owned enterprises,innovation output of non-state-owned enterprises and innovation level of high-tech enterprises is more obvious,and this conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests.At the same time,it further explored its impact mechanism from the perspective of government competition,and found that economic policy uncertainty will stimulate enterprise innovation by promoting local governments to compete for innovation,while to compete for growth and compete for attracting investment will have a masking effect in the mechanism of economic policy uncertainty promoting enterprise innovation.The conclusions provide enlightenment for how the central government should reasonably encourage local governments to engage in healthy and orderly interaction and competition,so as to promote enterprises to improve their innovation ability in the face of uncertain environment.
