Abstract:
Based on the spatial panel data of 79 cities in the Yellow River Basin and the intermediary of regional pollution transfer, this paper analyzes the mechanism of environmental regulation on the “local-neighboring” spatial effect of technological innovation. The are following empirical results: Firstly, the relationship between environmental regulation, technological innovation of local and neighboring areas shows inverted “U” features, and the adjacent area effect continues to be significant in a long-distance, indicating the necessity and scientific nature of the implementation of ecological protection and high-quality development strategy in the Yellow River Basin. Secondly, with the improvement of the intensity of local environmental regulations, polluting industries will undergo regional transfers. In the short term, the undertaking of neighboring industries will increase their income levels and promote technological innovation, but it will affect the regional development in the long run, resulting in the suppression of neighboring technological innovation. Thirdly, the realization of the overall high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin requires the central government to carry out top-level scientific design. The green assessment indicators are not only achieve the goal of ecological protection, but also conducive to technological innovation.
