Research on the spatial and temporal evolution and spatial spillover effects of regional green innovation in China under the ESG context
This study investigates the spatial-temporal evolution and spatial spillover effects of green innovation in the context of the global emphasis on ESG and China's development goals in new quality productive forces and low-carbon initiatives. Using panel data from 31 Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2022, the study employs kernel density estimation, Moran's index and spatial Markov chains to explore the spatial evolution characteristics of regional green innovation under ESG. A spatial Durbin model is applied to analyse the spatial spillover effects of ESG on green innovation. Key findings include: (1) ESG and green innovation in China exhibit significant spatial-temporal evolution characteristics. (2) ESG and green innovation converge in time trends into two state categories, low and high types, respectively, aligning with the “club convergence" theory. Introducing spatial elements significantly alters their transition probabilities. (3) ESG has an apparent spatial spillover effect on green innovation. That is, ESG has a noticeable promotion effect on green innovation in the region but a noticeable inhibition effect in neighbouring regions. This study offers quantitative support for promoting sustainable economic development and technological innovation across China's regions by examining green innovation's spatial dynamics and spillover effects in an ESG context.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
