摘　　要：美国琼斯教授根据知识的累积现象提出"发明人年龄呈现不断增长趋势"的论断。但是,通过对2000年到2015年这16年间中国国家技术发明奖获得者的发明年龄进行统计分析,结果发现,发明人的平均年龄非常平稳,没有明显上升的趋势。中国重大技术发明人的年龄变化并不符合琼斯的论断,其原因主要在于当前发明人抵消知识负担的途径多样化,人们获取知识的速度在增加,同时还受到知识半衰期、技术模块化、发明团队化等现实因素的影响。Professor Benjamin F. Jones argues that there is a substantial increase of age of great inventor because of knowledge accumulation. We analyze the age of Chinese National Technology Invention Award winners from 2000 to 2015 and find that the average age of the inventors is very stable, which there is no significant upward trend. The age characteristics of Chinese inventors of great inventions do not correspond to Jones ＇ argument. The main reason is that the inventor has diversified means to offset the burden of knowledge. Inventors absorb knowledge in accelerating pace, and they are also influ- enced by some practical factors, such as the half - life of knowledge, block - based invention, team - oriented inventing.
