Green technology innovation is an important means to break out of the constraints of resources and the environment, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and achieve the upgrading of industrial structures, and promote high-quality economic growth. In order to realize the overall improvement of the green technology innovation capability of Chinese enterprises, it is necessary to measure the efficiency of industrial enterprises' green technology innovation and explore their regional differences. In this paper, from the perspective of a two-stage innovation value chain, by introducing the industrial carbon emissions per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the "three wastes" pollutants into the research framework of green technology innovation efficiency, we established a novel green innovation efficiency evaluation indicator system for industrial enterprises. Furthermore, we used a two-stage network DEA with shared input to measure the efficiency of regional enterprises' green technology innovation and explored the regional differences in industrial enterprises' green technology R&D and the efficiency of green technology achievement transformation. Finally, we provide some suggestions for improving China's industrial enterprises' green innovation efficiency, so that they can ameliorate the significant regional imbalances and differences and realize high-quality economic growth.
绿色技术创新是突破资源环境约束、提升企业竞争力、实现产业结构升级、推动经济高质量增长的重要手段。为了全面提升中国企业绿色技术创新能力,有必要衡量工业企业绿色技术创新的效率并探索其区域差异。本文从两阶段创新价值链的角度出发,通过将单位国内生产总值(GDP)工业碳排放和“三废”污染物引入绿色技术创新效率的研究框架,构建了一个新颖的工业企业绿色创新效率评价指标体系。然后,采用具有共享投入的两阶段网络 DEA 方法来衡量区域企业绿色技术创新的效率,并探讨了工业企业绿色技术研发和绿色技术成果转化效率的区域差异。最后,为提高中国工业企业绿色创新效率提供了一些建议,以改善其显著的区域不平衡和差异,实现经济的高质量增长。
