在以知識發展為主的社會，針對科技的創新與研發所投入的支出及投資過程是以保持本身競爭優勢為前提，此外，透過這些支出與投資能使一個國家的經濟達到穩定成長的目標。本篇論文的目的是以分析是否國家長期的經濟成長會受其內部創新潛能所影響。
儘管目前已有許多研究為探討創新與經濟成長率的關聯性為主題，然而多數仍專注在歐洲國家的探討上面，因此本篇研究將以亞洲國家為例子並且將其結果與歐洲國家的結果做比較。本篇將利用多元回歸分析模型去預估台灣、韓國、新加坡等國家，為了將創新潛能量化，我們利用申請的專利數、商標數、研發經費支出當做我們的變數，國家的經濟發展是受其創新的程度、研究上的資源分配與活動、人力資本的品質及是否受外國資金直接投資股票。
我們利用多元回歸的方法從單一國家分析經濟成長與主要考量變數之間的關係，最終我們得到與歐洲國家相似的結果，經濟成長與創新之間具有正向的關聯。

In the knowledge based society the innovation, R&D expenditures and the investments in technology are premises for ensuring competitiveness and progress, and through them a nation can achieve sustainable economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to analyze if the long term economic growth is influenced by the innovation potential of an economy.
Even though many studies have been made on the topic of innovation and economic growth, they were mainly focusing on European countries. So in this study we tested Asian examples and compare the findings with the European countries. Analysis was performed by using multiple regression models estimated for the following Asian countries, namely Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore. In order to quantify the innovation we have used various variables, such as number of patents, number of trademarks, R&D expenditures. The economic development of an economy is influenced by the innovation degree, the allocation of resources for research and development activities, the quality of human capital and by foreign direct investments stock.
We have analyzed the relationship between economic growth and its main determinants by using a single country analysis, based on multiple regressions. And we have got common results with European cases that have been studied before, the evidence of a positive connection between economic growth and innovations.
