Strategic Emerging Industries Enabling Green Transformation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt:Theoretical Analysis and Mechanism Testing
Based on the panel data of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2010 to 2021,the impact of strategic emerging industries on green development is comprehensively examined.The results show that the development of strategic emerging industries can significantly reduce environmental pollution,which is conducive to the realization of green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt,and there are heterogeneous effects in the upstream,midstream and downstream regions,as well as among the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration,the city agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River,and the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.Strategic emerging industries promote regional green transformation and development by improving economic agglomeration,talent agglomeration and technology agglomeration,and the impact of strategic emerging industries on regional green development has a threshold effect based on its own size,and after crossing the threshold,its promotion effect on energy saving,consumption reduction and green development will be further weakened.At the same time,where the development level of strategic emerging industries is higher,the economy of scale effect brought by economic agglomeration can weaken the"crowding effect"and"free-riding"and other resource waste and inefficiency phenomena to a certain extent,and the green spillover effect of talent concentration and technology concentration is more obvious.The green spillover effect of talent concentration and technology concentration is more obvious.In view of this,we should pay attention to the innovation spillover effect of talent concentration,accelerate the realization of technology concentration in the region,effectively reduce the production cost and improve the utilization rate of resources,and moderately expand the development scale of strategic emerging industries.
