Environmental Target Constraint and Green Innovation Performance:System Tuning or Excessive Multiplication?
Based on the panel data of 274 cities in China from 2011 to 2021,this paper examines the impact of environmental target constraint on green innovation performance and strategic green innovation,and analyzes its performance and heteroge-neity under the constraints of regional economic nationalization.It is found that environmental goal constraint can significant-ly promote both green innovation performance and strategic green innovation.Further research shows that regional economic nationalization has a positive regulating effect on the relationship between environmental target constraint and green innova-tion performance,achieving a"systematic optimization"of the relationship between the two,but has no significant regulating effect on the relationship between environmental target constraint and strategic green innovation.In the heterogeneity test,it is found that the relationship between government and business and government expenditure on science and technology may lead to the weak stimulus effect of environmental target constraint on green innovation performance and the"over-propaga-tion"of strategic green innovation.Therefore,suggestions are put forward to construct a scientific and perfect environmental target restraint system,give full play to the leading role of state-owned enterprises in innovation,and scientifically play the supporting and guiding role of financial funds.
