With the advent of phenomena like the decline of traditional industries and environment deterioration, innovation has become the new engine to drive economic growth. Supporting innovation is one of the basic duties of government. This paper studies the relations among government innovation subsidies, innovation inputs and house price rise with the listed firms′ data in 35 large and medium-sized cities from 2010 to 2015. The results show that government subsidies are beneficial to innovation inputs, however, the continuous rise of house price will result in the “crowding out effect”, leading to the decline in promoting effect of government innovation subsidy; furthermore, in the case of distinguishing ownership of company, this effect is more obvious in state-owned enterprises; for private enterprises, government subsidies could reduce the financial constraints on innovation in non-state-owned enterprises. The above results show that high house price, to a certain extent, inhibits the promotion of government subsidies to enterprise innovation investment. Accordingly, government should not only strengthen the supervision mechanism to ensure the proper use of subsidies, but also take market-oriented means to reduce the negative effect of high house price on innovation.
