中文摘要：

创新是企业寻找生机和出路的必要奈件，在当代竞争激烈的社会环境下，创新则兴．不创新则亡。选取2006--2013年的A股制造业上市公司为样本，研究了高管股权激励对于企业创新有何影响。研究结果表明，股权激励的实施与企业的创新呈显著的正相关，即股权激励有利于提高企业的创新能力，这说明股权激励政策作为一种长期绩效机制，在我国的资本市场下对于企业的创新能够起到一定的促进作用。在进一步的研究中，对股权激励的类型进行区分，结果发现严格的激励型股权激励更能促进企业创新能力的提高，而严格的福利型股权激励对于创新的影响则不显著。研究结论丰富了高管薪酬制定与企业创新领域之间的文献，为股权激励的政策制定者提供指导性建议。
