The convergence of green growth is not only very important for the sustainable development of mankind, but also plays a key role in the coordinated development of eastern, Midwest regions of China. The effect of innovative human capital (IHC) on the convergence of regional green growth in China needs to be explored. This paper empirically explores the impact of IHC on the convergence of regional green growth in China from spatial perspective for the first time. Through the regression analysis of the convergence models, three main conclusions are obtained: (1) there are obvious conditional β space convergence characteristics of green growth among inter-provincial units in China. Under the spatial correlation expressed by distance weights and adjacent weights, the conditional β space convergence characteristics of green growth are quite different. (2) Compared with the adjacency weight, under the distance weight, the spatial diffusion effect of innovative knowledge and technologies created by IHC is stronger. (3) There is club convergence of green growth in the East and the Midwest regions, and the quantity and quality of IHC in the Midwest region play a stronger role in the convergence of green growth than in the East region. Based on the above conclusions, this paper proposes some policies for the East and Midwest regions.
绿色增长趋同不仅对人类可持续发展至关重要，而且在中国东部和中西部地区的协调发展中也发挥着关键作用。需要探讨创新型人力资本（IHC）对中国区域绿色增长趋同的影响。本文首次从空间视角实证探究了IHC对中国区域绿色增长趋同的影响。通过对趋同模型的回归分析，得出三个主要结论：（1）中国省际单元间绿色增长存在明显的条件β空间趋同特征。在距离权重和邻接权重所表示的空间相关性下，绿色增长的条件β空间趋同特征差异较大。（2）与邻接权重相比，在距离权重下，IHC创造的创新知识和技术的空间扩散效应更强。（3）东部和中西部地区存在绿色增长的俱乐部趋同，且中西部地区IHC的数量和质量在绿色增长趋同中发挥的作用比东部地区更强。基于上述结论，本文针对东部和中西部地区提出了一些政策建议。
