ABSTRACT

Based on the panel data of 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2018, this paper uses the SBM model that considers undesired output to measure and analyze the impact of environmental regulations and government R&D investment on the performance of green technology innovation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and uses the panel threshold model. Analyze the optimal intensity interval of environmental regulations and government R&D investment. The research found that: (1) In the process of green technology innovation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, environmental regulations and government R&D investment can promote innovation performance; (2) Environmental regulations and government R&D investment have a significant threshold for green technology innovation performance, and The optimal range of government R&D investment intensity is above 0.078, and the optimal intensity of environmental regulation is above 0.0013.
