Agglomeration is the major forces of the competition between globalization and regionalization. China's industrial agglomeration has become more apparent, and the government-led industry cluster as the main form, but the specialization, innovation as a core competitive advantage of industrial clustering has not been fully reflected, resulting in cluster "lacked of collective innovation". In this paper, used the empirical and normative methods to describe the stage of industrial agglomeration phenomena and facts; used the dynamic game approach to analysis the technology spillover inter-enterprises, and to solve the state the optimal output and technology spillovers of enterprises; used the 53 national technology development zones as the sample of industrial agglomeration area of industrial clustering to study the technology spillover effect on regional economic growth. The study of the paper has important practical significance for the promotion of industrial agglomeration, industrial upgrading and industrial restructuring.This study is divided into five parts. First, it is to introduce the technology spillover theory, measurement and model estimates of industry agglomeration. From technical external and economic convergence aspects of technology spillover theories to summarize and analyze the cost function, technology flow method and the production function method, enterprises, and regional inter-industry technology spillovers between the measured and compared from the Technology model, spatial econometric models and threshold regression model. Second, from the perspective of market structure and the Differentiation at the micro level and using of the method of dynamic game to study the technology spillover effect among businesses in the region, respectively, in competition or cooperation to solve the state of enterprises under the optimal output and technology spillovers. Third, studies from the empirical perspective on inter-industry and intra-industries of technology spillovers at the meso level, and then put them under the same model to empirical test. In addition, the industrial agglomeration of technology spillover in the meso level is also reflected on the role of regional economic growth. Fourth, the regional industrial structure adjustment and industrial upgrading as the main objective of policy goals in regulation, the objective regulation policy, instrument choice and content of regulatory policy design are very important to policy regulation onindustrial technology spillover. Fifth, from market failure, the cooperative game and association of economic aspects to analysis the objectives of regulation policies. The Government may play a role in the field and choose the appropriate policy tools. It is the focuses on the subsidies, access restrictions and technical standard alliance and the main contexts are economic regulation, social regulation and incentive regulation started.Basis on the analysis it can draw the following conclusions:First, in the same concentration region, market structure and differentiation on the firms impact of technology spillovers. Second, technology spillover at the industry level represents the inter-industry and intra-industries. Technology spillovers of intra-industries are divided into inter-product technology spillovers and intra-products, the empirical results show that technology spillovers of intra-product are no more than the inter-products; using the two-sector model to estimate the technological spillover of inter-industry, the result show that the high-tech industry technology spillover to traditional industries is strong. Third, industrial agglomeration of technology spillover effect on regional economic growth should be within a longer time to inspect, at different stages of industrial development, industrial agglomeration effects on regional economic growth may change. From the industrial agglomeration phenomena and facts, both the high-tech area and industry cluster had become the main driving force of regional economic growth at the surface. However, further analysis indicates that the industrial agglomeration effects had not been fully released, rely on external drives on the surrounding areas outside the concentrated area of industrial structure adjustment and upgrading of the driving were very limited. Fourth, regional industrial agglomeration power and industrial upgrading and innovation in policy design needs to be emphasized in the industrial agglomeration process to maintain fair competition.The innovation of this paper mainly in three aspects:First, at the product and spatial differentiation aspects to study the problems of the technology spillover, the found on product differentiation is when the spillover is relatively weak; the investment in technology can only spill over to others that are closest with its technology. If the firms' location can be change over time, because of the cost, this extreme difference in the next time will be to strengthen, the cost curve in the feature space of will show an inverted "U" type, firms to maintain positioning in the market at both ends. Second, put technology spillovers of the inter-industry and intra-industry under the same model, the empirical results show that technology spillovers inter-industry caused a large decrease of unit costs. Third, the study attributed to the point that the Chinese government policy on the impact of industrial agglomeration, from the angle of regulation economics to proposed how the government should draw up effective industrial policy, and the economic growth of regional and upgrading of industrial structure also depends on the policies have change from industrial policy to the industry cluster polices, according to industry cluster policy select target policy instruments and construct the specific regulation policies to maximize the spillover effects of technology industry cluster.
