Promoting technology transfer is an important strategic measure for China to promote industrial innovation. However, there is little research exploring the influence of technology transfer on the green innovation efficiency (GIE) of China's high-tech industry (HTI). From the perspective of process, green innovation in HTI is a continuous three-stage system including research and development (R&D), commercialization, and diffusion. Therefore, we measure the GIE of China's HTI by using a three-stage network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model considering environmental pollution and establish a series of regression models to investigate the role of the two main ways of technology transfer, domestic technology acquisition (DTA) and foreign technology introduction (FTI), in improving the GIE of HTI. The results show that the average GIE of China's HTI is 0.7727 from 2011 to 2020. Except for Jiangsu, Guangdong, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, green innovation in HTI in other provinces in China is inefficient. DTA has significantly promoted GIE in HTI. FTI has a positive impact on the GIE of HTI but is not statistically significant. The robustness test confirmed these results. This study is helpful to understand the differences between the effects of DTA and FTI on the GIE of China's HTI, to provide a basis for adjusting technology transfer policies.
促进技术转移是中国推动产业创新的一项重要战略举措。然而，鲜有研究探讨技术转移对中国高科技产业绿色创新效率（GIE）的影响。从过程角度来看，高科技产业的绿色创新是一个包括研发（R&D）、商业化和扩散的连续三阶段系统。因此，我们使用考虑环境污染的三阶段网络数据包络分析（NDEA）模型来衡量中国高科技产业的GIE，并建立一系列回归模型，以研究技术转移的两种主要方式——国内技术获取（DTA）和国外技术引进（FTI）——在提高高科技产业GIE方面的作用。结果表明，2011年至2020年中国高科技产业的平均GIE为0.7727。除江苏、广东、青海和新疆外，中国其他省份高科技产业的绿色创新效率低下。DTA显著促进了高科技产业的GIE。FTI对高科技产业的GIE有积极影响，但不具有统计学显著性。稳健性检验证实了这些结果。本研究有助于了解DTA和FTI对中国高科技产业GIE影响的差异，为调整技术转移政策提供依据。
