Abstract

This research aims to look at the influence of innovation on economic policy uncertainty in the growing Chinese economy. For data analysis, this study recommends using the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). This research employed an annual time series data collection that spanned the years 2000 to 2019. With these statements, the outcomes of this study indicate that there is a long-term link between economic policy uncertainty and creativity. The autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) model describes the long-term impact of policy uncertainty in a country on innovation and innovation techniques. The accounting findings show that there are short-run effects, but the long-run effects are more significant. To expand its investment portfolio, the Chinese government should pay attention to releasing policies for investors and providing equitable access to technology for both domestic and foreign investors.
