Green technology technology innovations, urban innovation environment and CO2 emission reduction in China: Fresh evidence from a partially linear functional-coefficient panel model

Boqiang Lin et al.

Summary: Green technology innovations play an important role in balancing economic growth and environmental governance. However, there is limited empirical research on the relationship between green technology innovations and CO2 emissions, particularly in developing countries like China. This study examines panel data from 264 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2017, and finds that the impact of green technology innovations on CO2 emissions varies across different types of cities. It also shows that green technology innovations can contribute to CO2 emission reduction after 2010, indirectly through industrial structure upgrading. The study further suggests that the marginal effect of green technologies on CO2 emissions is influenced by the urban innovation environment and the human capital level of a city.

Technological innovation and environmental quality nexus in India: Does inward remittance matter?

Muhammed Ashiq Villanthenkodath et al.

Summary: This article examines the relationships between technological innovation and environmental quality in India, and finds that technological innovation and economic growth degrade environmental quality in the long-run, while there is a U-shaped relationship between inward remittances and carbon dioxide emissions.
