The Spatial Correlation Between Green High-Quality Development and Technology Finance

Abstract

Based on an analysis of the function of technology finance for green high-quality development, this paper selects 35 basic indicators from the five dimensions of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing to construct an Green High-quality Development Index. Moreover, 14 basic indicators are selected from the three dimensions of technology finance resources level, technology finance input level, and technology finance output level to construct a technology finance development evaluation system. Then, using the entropy method, panel data from the period 2000–2020 from China’s 30 provinces was employed to assess the Economic Quality Development Index and the Technology Finance Development Index. The results show that provinces and cities with a good economic development level have a relatively high level of strong economic and technology finance development, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Jiangsu. Moreover, the results reveal a certain gap between different provinces. Multiple regression, static panel regression, dynamic panel regression, the static space Dubin model, the dynamic space Dubin model, and the semi-parametric space lag model were used to test the effect of technology finance on China’s green high-quality development. This study found that technology finance has significantly enhanced green high-quality development of China’s as a whole through a non-linear promotion effect. To better promote green high-quality development, the following measures are recommended: 1) improving the level of technological and financial development, 2) increasing the scale of government expenditures, 3) strengthening infrastructure construction, 4) accelerating the construction of new urbanization, and 5) improving the level of human capital.

High-quality economic development, green credit and carbon emissions

“…When measuring the economic high-quality development index, this paper study follows Jiang et al(2020Jiang et al( ,2022 and Wang et al (2021) to calculate it using the improved entropy weight method:…”

Regional Difference and Obstacle Factors of China’s High-Quality Development from the Perspective of Coupling Coordination

“…Third, based on the five development concepts of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing, many studies have built the indicator system of high-quality development. Subsequently, the indicator system has been supplemented and expanded [19,20]. Scholars have not reached a consensus on the indicators system of high-quality development, however, the dynamic and multi-dimensional characteristics of high-quality development have been widely accepted.…”

Spatial accessibility analysis of green space from a health-benefit perspective: Implications for healthy urban development

“…Second, we inputted the results of 1,520 questionnaires into SPSS 25 to obtain statistics; 20 random interviews were conducted for each UPGS, and invalid questionnaires were randomly re-interviewed by finding others who were not interviewed. Next, the QI was evaluated by employing the entropy evaluation method (EEM); its calculation formula was derived from the literature (Jiang et al, 2022). The EEM determines the variables' weights according to each variable's degree of dispersion.…”
