The Impact of Energy Transformation Strategy on the Green Development Efficiency and Its Mechanism Test:an Empirical Study of Sichuan Province
Clean and low-carbon energy transformation is an important way to promote regional green development.The paper selects Sichuan,a national clean energy demonstration province,as the research case.It,based on the dual perspectives of economic production and environmental governance,uses the two-stage network SBM model to measure the green development efficiency and empirically investigates the direct impact and indirect conductive effects of energy transformation on the green development efficiency based on the bidirectional fixed effect and intermediary effect models.The results show that the green development efficiency of Sichuan Province took a fluctuating upward trend,but it had obvious spatial differentiation characteristics from 2006 to 2022,energy transformation strategy is a significant driving factor for improving the green development efficiency and there is an inverted U-shaped relationship,the implementation of energy transformation strategy will force enterprises to increase research and development investment to optimize energy structure,the application of scientific and technological achievements in regional environmental protection fields is still insufficient at the stage,leading to the insignificant intermediary role of research and development investment,energy transformation strategy can promote the adjustment of the proportion among the three major industries,facilitate the optimization and upgrading within each industry through consumption structure constraints and policy funding support,and improve the regional green development process through the intermediary role of industrial structure,energy transformation strategy will raise the barriers for foreign investment to enter industries with high energy consumption and high pollution characteristics,but "imposing uniformity in all cases" approach is not conducive to giving full play to the intermediary driving effect of innovation incentives of foreign investment on regional green development.
