Abstract Recently, with the dual constraints of resources and environment, to accelerate the transformation of low-carbon energy driven by energy technology innovation has become a global development trend. On account of the provincial data during the period of 2000 to 2017, we creatively incorporate the ecological footprint into the measurement of total factor ecological efficiency so as to infer the coordinated development level of 3E system more precisely. In this paper, the dynamic spatial impact of energy technological innovation on regional total factor eco-efficiency is explored through the spatial Durbin model, and the complex nonlinear relationship between the two is further probed by constructing the panel threshold model. The following conclusions are obtained ultimately. First of all, both China's provincial ecological efficiency and energy technology innovation activities possess significant spatial positive correlation, which manifests as the spatial geographical distribution agglomerated by the similar characteristics; Secondly, the regional energy technology innovation has a remarkable spatial effect on ecological efficiency, which displays a U-shaped trend. And compared with the direct effect, the spatial spillover effect is more intense, along with more stronger long-term influence; Finally, taking the level of regional economic development as the moderating variable, the impact of energy technology innovation on eco-efficiency emerges a conspicuous threshold effect with two threshold values. Only when the level of economic development crosses the double threshold, can energy technology innovation activities significantly improve the regional total factor ecological efficiency. After the robustness test and discussion of the empirical model, relevant policy suggestions are put forward based on the conclusions of the paper.

The Impact

With the depletion of fossil energy and the rise of global temperature, it is urgent to use renewable energy to solve environmental problems. By studying the heterogeneous relationship between CO2 emissions and renewable energy technology innovation in different countries, we can find out the gap and something helpful to energy development. In the empirical test, we use the negative binomial regression model with fixed effects to study the impact of CO2 emissions on renewable energy technology innovation from 1997 to 2016. The research shows that impact is positive in oil-importing countries, but this relationship is not established in oil-exporting countries. In both oil importers and oil exporters, CO2 emissions have a positive effect on the solar energy technological innovation, however, the influence on the technology innovation of solar energy in oil exporters is more significant than that of renewable energy. Whether for oil importers or oil exporters, it can be more reasonable and effective to develop renewable energy by clarifying the impact of CO2 emissions on domestic renewable energy technology innovation.

Global Mean

There is a consensus among scientists that stark dangers await in a world where the global mean temperature rises by more than about 2 degrees Celsius. That threshold corresponds to a collective human carbon emissions “budget” of around a trillion tons, of which half has been spent. This paper uses a new simulation model to look at strategies to stay within that budget, specifically assessing the impact of improvements in energy efficiency, aggressive deployment of renewables, and energy technology innovation. The simulations examine the timing of investments, turnover of capital stock, and the effect of learning on costs, among other factors. The results indicate that efficiency, renewables, and technology innovation are all required to keep humanity within the trillion-ton budget. Even so, these measures are not by themselves sufficient: changes in land use and a price on carbon emissions are also needed.

Based on the data of listed construction companies in the jewelry manufacturing industry in 1994 from 2014 to 2017, this article uses the generalized least squares method to analyze the relationship between green energy technology innovation, construction enterprises’ growth performance and R&D investment intensity, and explores the impact of green energy technology innovation on construction enterprises’ growth performance and analyzes the moderating effect of R&D investment intensity. The empirical results show that green energy technological innovation has a significant positive impact on construction enterprises’ growth performance. The intensity of R&D investment has a significant negative regulatory effect on the relationship between green energy technological innovation and construction enterprises’ growth performance.

To cope with climate change and achieve sustainable development, low-carbon city pilot policies have been implemented. An objective assessment of the performance of these policies facilitates not only the implementation of relevant work in pilot areas, but also the further promotion of these policies. This study uses A-share listed enterprises from 2005 to 2019 and creates a multi-period difference-in-differences model to explore the impact of low-carbon city pilot policies on corporate green technology innovation from multiple dimensions. Results show that (1) low-carbon city pilot policies stimulates the green technological innovation of enterprises as manifested in their application of green invention patents; (2) the introduction of pilot policies is highly conducive to green technological innovation in eastern cities and enterprises in high-carbon emission industries; and (3) tax incentives and government subsidies are important fiscal and taxation tools that play the role of pilot policies in low-carbon cities. By alleviating corporate financing constraints, these policies effectively promote the green technological innovation of enterprises. This study expands the research on the performance of low-carbon city pilot policies and provides data support for a follow-up implementation and promotion of policies from the micro perspective at the enterprise level.

Agricultural technology innovation is key for improving productivity, sustainability, and resilience in food production and agriculture to contribute to public health. Using panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2003 to 2015, this study examines the impact of rural financial development on agricultural technology innovation from the perspective of rural financial scale and rural finance efficiency. Furthermore, it examines how the effects of rural financial development vary in regions with different levels of marketization and economic development. The empirical results show that the development of rural finance has a significant and positive effect on the level of agricultural technology innovation. Rural finance efficiency has a significantly positive effect on innovation in regions with a low degree of marketization, while the rural financial scale has a significantly positive effect on technological innovation in regions with a high degree of marketization. Further analysis showed that improving the level of agricultural technology innovation is conducive to rural economic development. This study provides new insights into the effects of rural financial development on sustainable agricultural development from the perspective of agricultural technology innovation.

Green technology innovation is regarded as an important means to achieve sustainable development. Countries all over the world mainly implement green technology innovation policies from the aspects of environmental regulation and financing constraints. The effect of financing constraint policy on enterprise green technology innovation remains to be investigated. Based on the event of “green credit guidelines” issued by China Banking Regulatory Commission in 2012, this paper collects the panel data of China’s 2825 listed companies from 2007 to 2018, constructs a difference-in-difference model, and studies the impact of green credit guidelines on corporate green technology innovation and its mechanism. The empirical results show: First, green credit guidelines can promote corporate green technology innovation on the whole. Second, the mechanism of green credit on enterprise green technology innovation is identified. Green credit guidelines mainly limited green technology innovation through reducing debt financing, rather than through financing constraints. Third, the impact of green credit guidelines on green technology innovation is heterogeneous. Green credit guidelines have a significant effect on the green technology innovation of state-owned and large enterprises, but have no effect on the green technology innovation of non-state-owned and small ones.
