Green Technology Innovation Impacts on Regional Carbon Emission Reduction in China:Empirical Analysis on Provincial Panel Data
In order to realize"carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals"early,our country put forward to build a green low carbon circular development economic system.The green technology innovation is the key core to promote green high-quality development,and is the important support to solve the realistic ecological environmental problem in our country.For studying the influence mechanism of green technology innovation on regional carbon emission reduction,a fixed-effect model is constructed based on panel data from 30 provinces during 2011-2020,and this paper examined the mediating mechanism of energy efficiency and the moderating effect of local government competition.The results show that green technology innovation can significantly promote carbon emission reduction.And the promotion effect is most significant in the eastern part of our country,while it is not significant in the central and western regions.Further research shows that green technology innovation can promote carbon emission reduction by improving energy efficiency,but local government competition has a negative moderating effect on the promotion effect of green technology innovation.The conclusion provides theoretical support and countermeasures for improving the innovation ability of green technology,helping the realization of"carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals"and promoting the orderly competition of local government.
