Research on the Influence of Target Orientation of R&D Intensity on Green Development:Empirical Research Based on Synthetic Control Method
The target-oriented effect formed by the R&D intensity index in the government work report is of great significance to promoting regional green development.Based on the natural experiment of setting the R&D intensity target for the first time,the influence of R&D intensity target orientation on regional green development level is studied by using the synthetic control method from the counterfactual perspective.It finds that the target-oriented research and development intensity reduces carbon emission intensity,industrial waste gas emissions and energy consumption on the whole,and significantly improves the level of regional green development.Heterogeneity anslysis finds that the policy effects of R&D intensity target orientation on the eastern,central and western regions are different.
