In the face of achieving the overall goal of emission peak and carbon neutrality, strengthening green technology transfer and environmental regulation is the key to narrowing the green technology gap and green development chasm between regions. This paper integrates green technology transfer, environmental regulation, and the green development chasm into one model, and analyzes the mechanism by which green technology transfer and environmental regulation impact the green development chasm. An empirical test was conducted by employing green technology transfer patent and panel data of the Yangtze River Delta from 2005-2019. The results are as follows: (1) Although the green development chasm still exists in the Yangtze River Delta, green technology transfer and environmental regulation have a positive impact on narrowing the regional green development chasm. Especially, the superposition of green technology transfer and environmental regulation can effectively make up for the lack of government and market regulation, and significantly promote the narrowing of the green development chasm. (2) Regional heterogeneity exists and developed regions can achieve the goal of narrowing the green development chasm by relying on green technology transfer or environmental regulation, while less developed regions must rely on the synergy of two dimensions. Thus, the coordination of green technology transfer and environmental regulation must be strengthened. Based on the above research, the main contributions of this paper are to analyze the theoretical mechanism of green technology transfer, environmental regulation, and regional green development chasm, to provide a theoretical and empirical basis for realizing the overall goal of regional green development, and suggestions for optimizing China's current policies.
面对实现碳排放达峰与碳中和的总体目标，加强绿色技术转移和环境规制是缩小区域间绿色技术差距和绿色发展鸿沟的关键。本文将绿色技术转移、环境规制和绿色发展鸿沟纳入同一模型，分析绿色技术转移和环境规制对绿色发展鸿沟的影响机制。利用绿色技术转移专利和 2005-2019 年长三角面板数据进行实证检验。结果表明：（1）尽管长三角地区仍存在绿色发展鸿沟，但绿色技术转移和环境规制对缩小区域绿色发展鸿沟具有积极作用。特别是绿色技术转移和环境规制的叠加可以有效弥补政府和市场调节的不足，显著促进绿色发展鸿沟的缩小。（2）存在区域异质性，发达地区可以通过绿色技术转移或环境规制来实现缩小绿色发展鸿沟的目标，欠发达地区则必须依赖两个维度的协同作用。因此，必须加强绿色技术转移和环境规制的协调。基于上述研究，本文的主要贡献在于分析绿色技术转移、环境规制和区域绿色发展鸿沟的理论机制，为实现区域绿色发展的总体目标提供理论和实证依据，并为优化中国现行政策提出建议。
