“…There have been two main approaches to the characterization of high-quality economic development (HQED): One is to measure by using single indicators such as TFP [16,17], GTFP [7,18,19]. Although GTFP is modified based on the traditional TFP, considering the economic activities by incorporating environmental factors, this method still mainly focuses on the efficiency of economic development, and can't reflect the economic stability and equity.…”

“…Moreover, the basis of TI and economic conditions vary from place to place. Some scholars believed that innovation capacity differed not only among countries but also among sub-countries [7]. Many scholars have pointed out that it was more meaningful to discuss TI at a regional level [30].…”

“…Technological innovation (TI) is an important driving force to achieve HQED and enhance the regional core competitiveness [3,4,6,7]. A large number of scholars have conducted a lot of research about the impact of TI on the economic growth rate, social progress, and environmental protection, separately.…”

“…It can be found that the existing literature has the following deficiencies: First, most of the literature still focuses on the impact of TI on economic growth, social equity or environmental pollution [7,11,12], separately, or using a single indicator, such as total factor productivity (TFP) or green total factor productivity (GTFP), as the substitution index for HQED. It is difficult to reflect the comprehensive, dynamic and multidimensional characteristics of HQED.…”

“…Second, using nations or provinces as a single decision-making unit is too macro to capture more micro-level information [13]. However, existing literature mainly focuses on the national or provincial level empirical analysis [3,6,7,14], the city level and city group level studies are limited. Research on the comparative perspective, some research compared the impact of R&D input on regional economic growth in the Seoul and the rest of Korea [3]; some research compared the environmental regulation in facilitating the quantity and quality of green innovation [15].…”

High-quality economic development (HQED) has recently become a crucial sustainable growth mode in China, which pursues economic growth while maintaining social equity and green ecology. The HQED of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) has played an exemplary role in achieving the leap from “China speed” to “China Quality”. In this paper, we first use the entropy-weight multidimensional comprehensive evaluation method to calculate the HQED index as a proxy for the quality of economic growth. Then, using panel data of 41 cities in the YRD, we conduct a comparative study to examine impacts of technological innovation (TI) on quantity and quality of economic growth by employing different panel estimation models over the period 2009-2019 and check the robustness in five ways. Finally, this paper investigates the TI-economic growth link based on the panel quantile regression across the conditional distributions of economic growth levels. Results show that TI has significantly positive effects in terms of both quantity and quality of economic growth, and the promoting effect on the quantity of economic growth is almost four times higher than that of quality under mean estimations by double fixed-effects. The effect on quantity of economic growth is also stronger than that of quality under the conditional distribution, and TI has a stronger impact for regions with higher levels of economic growth.

This study aims to investigate the relationships between two types of internationalization degree and innovation performance in the context of enterprises and the moderating role of environmental complexity in such relationships. The results show that internationalization depth is positively related to innovation performance and environmental complexity negatively moderates the relationship between internationalization depth and innovation performance. Moreover, internationalization breadth and innovation performance have a positive relationship, but environmental complexity does not have a significant effect on the relationship between internationalization breadth and innovation performance. This study highlights the positive role of internationalization degree in innovation performance and advances the understanding of environmental complexity by proposing that the effects of environmental complexity on such relationships are contingent on process of firms' internationalization.
