Abstract The development of the world economy, as well as science and technology, shows that scientific and technological innovation is an important engine of economic development. Since the reform and opening up of China, in order to promote the economic and social development of our country, the investment of R&D in China has been increasing. The achievements of scientific research papers have thus increased significantly, but the significant increase in the output of original innovation results has been widely questioned. This empirical study is based on the 1994-2013 geoscience project of the “National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars” of China, taking the output of the top periodical paper as the evaluation index of innovation ability. After the analysis of the existing research on the “National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars”, the paper puts forward a framework and theoretical hypothesis of “environment motivation behavior” using the DID model. In order to control for the endogeneity caused by errors, we analyze the fund’s effect on scientists’ innovation ability, verify the theoretical hypothesis, and explain possible reasons based on the “environment motivation behavior” analysis framework. The empirical results show that the fund has reached a significant 9 years, a significant proportion of 1994-2008 years, a significant proportion of 60%, a significant financial support effect and a positive total of 8 years. In these 8 years, the scientists funded by the “National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars” have not obtained the scientists funded by the jsing fund, and can publish more 0.151-0.698 journals per year. Papers, scientists can produce more than 1.094-3.378 papers on top journals. The biggest subsidy effect was found in the Jay green fund from 2002; that fund’s effect began to decline in 2006. In 2007 and 2008, the effect of the JE fund was not significant. In the performance evaluation of scientific and technological projects, the control group can be constructed through this method to achieve the purpose of inferring causal effects.
