Does the digital innovation ecosystem promote green technology innovation? Evidence from 264 cities in China
With the Chinese government prioritizing “digitalization-driven green transformation” as a national strategy, the digital innovation ecosystem (DIE) and green technology innovation (GTI) have emerged as key drivers of high-quality development. However, the relationship between them remains unclear. This paper constructs a multidimensional framework of DIE and evaluates it using a coupling coordination degree model. Based on panel data from 264 Chinese cities (2011–2021), the spatial Durbin model is employed to analyze the impact of DIE on GTI and the moderating role of environmental regulation (ER). The results indicate that DIE promotes local and neighboring GTI through significant spatial spillover effects. Among the DIE subsystems, the digital innovation subject and environmental subsystems significantly enhance GTI, whereas the platform subsystem exhibits a limited effect. ER weakens the positive impact of DIE on GTI, with regional heterogeneity observed. This study provides new empirical evidence on the role of DIE in advancing sustainable development and offers tailored policy recommendations for coordinating digital and environmental strategies.
期刊介绍:
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
