Green energy mismatch, industrial intelligence and economics growth: theory and empirical evidence from China

The Ambient Air Quality Standards, green innovation, and urban air quality: Evidence from China

“…The Path C2 analysis: the industrial-structure effect of the GI The coefficients a 3 of the GI in columns ( 4) and ( 6) is significantly positive and negative, respectively, indicating that on the one side, the green innovation promotes the optimization of urban industrial structure; yet, on the other side, impedes the rationalization of industrial structure, which is not line with our expectation, but still consistent with some researchers findings that when faced with mandatory environmental policy or extreme "one-size-fits-all", the regulated plants have to reallocate original R&D resources and transfer them to green innovation, resulting in "crowding-out effect" of green innovation, even resource mismatch, and breaking the inherent coordination between different industries 77,78 . Other scholars have found empirically that there is threshold effect of environmental regulations on green transition of the industrial economy or green innovation 79 .…”
