Research on the urban green development efficiency from the perspective of financial development in Yellow River Basin
This paper uses the panel data of 78 cities in the Yellow River Basin from 2006 to 2021 to measure the green development efficiency of the cities in the Yellow River Basin by using the super-efficiency EBM model and the window DEA method,and at the same time constructs the spatial Durbin model to empirically test the impact of the financial development of the cities in the Yellow River Basin on the green development efficiency.The results show that:(1)there is a significant posi-tive spatial correlation between urban financial development and green development efficiency in the Yellow River Basin,and the directional characteristics all show a northwesterly-south-easterly trend.(2)Overall,among the three subsystems of finan-cial development,financial scale significantly contributes to the improvement of green development efficiency,and vice versa for financial efficiency and financial accessibility.(3)From the perspective of spatial spillovers,the current financial scale of cities in the Yellow River Basin is not conducive to the enhancement of green development efficiency in the region,but it can promote the improvement of green development efficiency in neighboring regions;the financial efficiency has negative impact on the green development efficiency in the region,and the impact on the neighboring regions is not obvious;and the financial avail-ability plays a significant positive role in the growth of green development efficiency in the local area,but its role in the neigh-boring regions is significantly negative.and financial accessibility has a significant negative inhibitory effect on local green devel-opment efficiency growth,but a significant negative inhibitory effect on neighboring areas.
