Abstract

As the conflict between economic growth and environmental pollution intensifies, green innovation is gradually recognized as a pivotal strategy for promoting sustainable urban development. The unique institution is an important asymmetric resource for innovation activities, so delving into China's land institutional context represents a significant direction for both the theoretical understanding and practical application research of innovation in China. The existing framework inadequately explores the nexus between land misallocation (LM) and urban green innovation (UGI) and fails to reveal the underlying transmission mechanism fully. To bridge this gap, this paper utilizes city-level data from China spanning 2007 to 2020, takes an asymmetric innovation perspective, and empirically tests the impact of two types of land misallocation, industrial LM and sectoral LM, on the relationship between UGI. The results reveal that LM has a significantly direct negative impact on UGI in China. The results are still robust after changing the sample size, substituting explanatory variables, replacing regression models, and running endogeneity tests. Additionally, the negative impact of LM exhibits heterogeneity within sectors and cities of different economic levels, administrative ranks, and dominant industries. The mechanism testing results indicate that LM affects UGI through structural, scale, and agglomeration effects. These conclusions enrich the literature on the impact of institutions on urban green innovation and provide valuable insights into the sustainable development of cities.

土地错配与城市绿色创新:基于不对称创新理论的视角
随着经济增长与环境污染冲突的加剧,绿色创新逐渐被认为是促进城市可持续发展的关键战略。独特的制度是创新活动的重要不对称资源,深入研究中国土地制度背景对中国创新的理论认识和实践应用研究都是一个重要的方向。现有框架对土地错配与城市绿色创新之间关系的探讨不足,未能充分揭示其深层传导机制。为了弥补这一差距,本文利用2007 - 2020年中国城市层面的数据,采用非对称创新视角,实证检验了工业LM和部门LM两种土地错配类型对UGI关系的影响。结果表明,LM对中国UGI具有显著的直接负向影响。在改变样本量、替换解释变量、替换回归模型、进行内生性检验后,结果仍然具有鲁棒性。此外,LM的负面影响在不同经济水平、行政级别和主导产业的部门和城市中呈现异质性。机理测试结果表明,LM通过结构效应、规模效应和团聚效应影响UGI。这些结论丰富了制度对城市绿色创新影响的文献,为城市可持续发展提供了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍: Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
