Innovation Driven Policy,Government Environmental Attention,and Green High-quality Development:Evidence from National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone
This paper selects panel data of 280 prefectural-level cities in China from 2005 to 2020 and empirically investi-gates the effect of national innovation demonstration zones on green and high-quality development using multi-period double difference-in-difference(DID)and triple difference(DDD)models.The results find that the national innovation demonstration zones effectively drive green and high-quality development,and this finding still holds through several ro-bustness tests such as propensity score matching(PSM).DDD test results show that there is a synergistic effect between en-vironmental protection policy and innovation-driven policy.The higher the government's environmental protection atten-tion,the stronger the driving effect of the national independent innovation demonstration zone on green and high-quality de-velopment.The results of heterogeneity analysis show that in the central region and the region with low green development level,the promotion effect of green and high-quality development of policies is more obvious.
