Sustainable development can be mainly achieved by promoting the green transformation and development of the world economy and by improving the efficiency of regional green development, which often receive extensive attention from the academia. This paper uses a spatial econometric model to estimate the impact of manufacturing agglomeration on green development efficiency based on the panel data of China's Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). The results show an overall large gap of green development efficiency between regions in the Yangtze River Economic Zone, mostly due to the extremely uneven development of green development efficiency in the upper reaches. Opposite to the middle and lower reaches, manufacturing agglomeration in the upper reaches of the YREB improves green development efficiency. Manufacturing agglomeration is conducive to the improvement of green development efficiency in adjacent areas. Nonetheless, it may hinder green development efficiency by inhibiting green technological innovation. This paper provides empirical evidence and policy implications for applying manufacturing agglomeration to promote green development efficiency in accordance with local conditions.
可持续发展主要可以通过推动世界经济的绿色转型与发展以及提高区域绿色发展效率来实现，这经常受到学术界的广泛关注。本文基于中国长江经济带（YREB）的面板数据，运用空间计量模型来估计制造业集聚对绿色发展效率的影响。结果表明，长江经济带各地区之间绿色发展效率总体差距较大，这主要是由于上游地区绿色发展效率极不均衡。与中下游地区相反，长江经济带上游地区的制造业集聚提高了绿色发展效率。制造业集聚有利于相邻地区绿色发展效率的提高。尽管如此，它可能会通过抑制绿色技术创新来阻碍绿色发展效率。本文为因地制宜应用制造业集聚来促进绿色发展效率提供了实证依据和政策启示。
