Research on Evaluation and Factors of Regional Green Innovation Performance Based on ER-XIANG Dual Theory

Abstract

On the basis of panel data from 30 provinces during 2005-2014, the index system of regional green innovation performance is built from efficiency and output two dimensions based on dual theory. The evaluation of regional green innovation performance is using PPE-Malmquist-LWN model synthetically and the empirical analysis is used to study on factors of regional green innovation performance. The results indicate that regional green innovation performance shows an M type trend, and in east is higher than that in west. On the whole, FDI, ODI, environmental regulation of lag 1 have positive effects on regional green innovation performance, but internal and externa l market needs, intellectual property protection, market institutions have negative effect. In eastern region, FDI, external market needs, market institutions have negative effect, but environmental regulation of lag 1 has positive effects. In central region, internal market needs has negative effect, but ODI and environmental regulation of lag 1 have positive effects. In western region, internal market needs and intellectual property protection have negative effect, but FDI, ODI and external market needs have positive effects.
