“…Zhai et al found that technology has a significant positive impact on the green conversion efficiency of local provinces. In contrast, the spillover effect of technology R&D on the green conversion efficiency of neighboring provinces is significantly negative, and the spillover effect of technology commercialization is extremely positive [ 13 ]. Huang et al suggested that the technology spillovers through openness benefit China’s total factor productivity [ 14 ].…”

This study performs the spatial Durbin model (SDM) and threshold model to analyze the efficiency of agricultural green production following technological progress from 1998 through 2019. The SDM supports a nonlinear contribution of technological progress spillover to agricultural green total factor productivity (GTFP), exacerbated by upgrading agricultural structure. Moreover, the threshold model confirms that technological progress has a single threshold effect on agricultural GTFP with the rationalization of the agrarian system as a threshold variable; meanwhile, the contribution of technological progress to agricultural GTFP is less than that of agricultural total factor productivity. Out of the expanded application of dissipative structure theory in agricultural GTFP systems innovatively, this study reveals the urgency to strengthen the innovation of independent technology, lower the threshold for introducing technology, and optimize the agrarian structure in the long-term sustainable agriculture for the economies that are undergoing a similar development stage as China.

“…Technological innovation is closely related to green development. How to drive green development through technological innovation has become the key to China's economic transformation, cultivating new development momentum, and improving the quality of development (Zhai & An, 2021). So, in the context of China's vigorous development of the digital economy, can the digital economy effectively balance the relationship between economic growth, resource conservation, and environmental protection and drive China's economy to achieve green development?…”

“…Zhang et al (2018) used spatial autoregressive model to test the impact of scientific and technological innovation on urban ecological efficiency in China and found that scientific and technological innovation had a greater impact on the ecological efficiency of eastern cities than western cities, and the higher the administrative level of cities, the greater the impact of scientific and technological innovation on urban ecological efficiency. Zhai and An (2021) used the sample data of 30 provincial administrative regions in China from 2009 to 2018 to study the relationship between technological innovation and green conversion efficiency. The results showed that both technology research and development and technology commercialization had a significant impact on green conversion efficiency.…”

Based on the panel data of 277 cities in China from 2011 to 2018, this paper constructs the digital economy index and the green economy efficiency index. The research found the following: first, the digital economy has significantly improved the efficiency of the green economy in the region. Second, the digital economy has a greater impact on the efficiency of the green economy in the eastern region and large cities than in the central and western regions and small cities. Third, technological innovation is an important way for digital economy to improve the efficiency level of green economy.

“…The results showed that the green economic growth efficiency of resource-based cities in China exhibited an overall trend of rising fluctuation from 2004 to 2018, and the curve trend of green technological progress was basically the same as that of the green economic value-added index. The curve trend of green technological efficiency index, green economic growth index, and green technological progress index was opposite in 2017, which indicated that the green economic growth of resource-based cities in China mainly depended on the improvement in the green technological progress index, and accelerating technological innovation was conducive to the improvement in green economic growth (Zhai and An, 2021). Moreover, resourcebased cities should not only improve the level of technological progress but also improve the level of green technology efficiency.…”

Seeking innovative development has become a necessity for global cities because of the accelerating consumption of natural resources and the increasing need for urgent control of environmental pollution. However, few studies have reported on the effect of innovative development on the green economic growth of resource-based cities. Therefore, this study aimed to construct the SBM model of unexpected output to measure the efficiency of green economic growth using data of 108 resource-based cities in China from 2004 to 2018, and to analyze the impact of innovative development and resource endowment on green economic growth using the systematic Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model. The following results were obtained: first, the green economic growth efficiency of resource-based cities exhibited a general trend of fluctuation and rise, but the efficiency of different resource-based cities was different in time and space. Second, although innovative development promoted the green economic growth of resource-based cities, the impact of different resource-based cities was heterogeneous. Innovative development promoted the green economic growth of resource-based cities in eastern China, comprehensive cities, metal cities, growth cities, and renewable cities. However, it had an inhibitory effect on the green economic growth of northeast China, west China, and oil–gas and nonmetal resource–based cities, but no significant effect on the green economic growth of other resource-based cities. Third, the nonlinear effect of resource endowment on the green economic growth of resource-based cities was not significant, but resource endowment had a “curse” effect on green economic growth. Meanwhile, heterogeneity analysis showed two effects of resource endowment on the green economic growth in different resource-based cities: curse and blessing. Fourth, the impact of innovative development on the green economic growth of resource-based cities was moderated by resource endowment. The impact of innovative development on green economic growth decreased with the increase in resource endowment. Therefore, resource-based cities should not only constantly increase innovation and improve resource utilization efficiency but also actively promote coordination and cooperation of regional resource-based industries so as to achieve green and sustainable development.
