Based on the diffusing theories of knowledge, this paper uses the data between 2006-2008 of the 21 cities in Guangdong province to conduct the exploratory data analysis, constructs the input-output model of innovation which take the informatization level of a region into account, and uses the common econometric model and spatial econometric models based on geographical adjacency between two regions, then compared the estimation results of these models. The systematic analysis shows that the

However, when take the informatization level into account, the results of the new model are more precise. Based on the empirical research, this paper proposes several policy recommendations.
