To investigate the latent relation between technology innovation and eco-environmental systems and promote their coordinated development, we integrated the coupling coordination model and panel vector autoregressive model to examine the evidence from China. The research reveals that the technology innovation benefit and eco-environmental governance and endowment are the prominent factors for optimizing the two systems. Moreover, the findings show that the coupling coordination degree of eco-environment and technology innovation in China presents an upward trend. In terms of the dynamic interaction between technology innovation and eco-environment, the influence of the former on the latter is timely while that of the latter on the former is lagging (except for the central region). The weak coupling coordination degree implies that the mutual promotion of technology innovation and eco-environmental systems has not yet formed. The policy implications are proposed accordingly to promote coordinated development of eco-environment and technology innovation in China.
为了探究技术创新与生态环境系统之间的潜在关系,促进二者协同发展,我们整合了耦合协调模型和面板向量自回归模型,以中国的证据进行检验。研究表明,技术创新效益和生态环境治理与禀赋是优化这两个系统的突出因素。此外,研究结果表明,中国生态环境与技术创新的耦合协调度呈上升趋势。就技术创新与生态环境之间的动态互动而言,前者对后者的影响具有及时性,而后者对前者的影响具有滞后性(除了中部地区)。弱耦合协调度意味着技术创新和生态环境系统的相互促进尚未形成。相应地提出了政策建议,以促进中国生态环境与技术创新的协调发展。
