Abstract
To establish the evaluation index system of urbanization innovation level and ecological efficiency, the entropy method is applied to measure the comprehensive index of urbanization innovation level and ecological efficiency, the VAR model is established, and empirical measurement is used to study the internal relationship and dynamic development between urbanization innovation level and ecological efficiency. The empirical results show the following: (1) The overall development of the innovation level in 30 cities in China is uneven, there is a large gap between the urban innovation level in backwards areas and economically developed areas, and there is a certain coupling effect between the urban innovation level and ecological efficiency. (2) There is a long-term dynamic equilibrium relationship between the urban innovation level and ecological efficiency, which will exert certain pressure on the ecological environment in the process of urbanization. However, the continuous improvement of urbanization will have a positive impact on the improvement of the ecological environment. (3) The improvement of ecological efficiency will also promote the improvement of the urban innovation level. Therefore, this paper puts forwards policy suggestions to promote the harmonious development of urbanization and the ecological environment and provides a reference for realizing the balanced development of urbanization and ecological efficiency in China.
Highlights
With the rapid development of China’s economy and the continuous improvement of the urbanization level, urban innovation ability plays an important role in promoting the transformation of China’s social and economic structure
Previous studies have focused on various urban pollution indicators and regional economic indicators, but the relationship of urban innovation to the ecological environment has not been researched in depth. is study combines the evaluation index of the urban innovation level and eco-efficiency index, constructs a multidimensional observation system of the urban innovation level, economic level and eco-environment, attempts to find the internal relationship and dynamic development relationship between the urban innovation level and ecological environment change through econometric demonstration, analyses the contradictions between them in light of development, and provides a reference for the Chinese government for achieving the goal of a sustainable development society
By measuring the changes in the urbanization innovation level and ecological efficiency level in 30 provinces and cities in China and carrying out dynamic econometric analysis on the relationship between the two variables, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) e overall development of the urban innovation level of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2019 is uneven, and there is a large gap between the urban innovation level of backwards areas and economically developed areas
Summary
With the rapid development of China’s economy and the continuous improvement of the urbanization level, urban innovation ability plays an important role in promoting the transformation of China’s social and economic structure. Many studies have illustrated a certain correlation between the regional economy and ecological environment [30–32], and in-depth demonstrations and research have been carried out to explore the internal relationship and law governing urbanization level and ecological efficiency [33–36]. Previous studies have focused on various urban pollution indicators and regional economic indicators, but the relationship of urban innovation to the ecological environment has not been researched in depth. Is study combines the evaluation index of the urban innovation level and eco-efficiency index, constructs a multidimensional observation system of the urban innovation level, economic level and eco-environment, attempts to find the internal relationship and dynamic development relationship between the urban innovation level and ecological environment change through econometric demonstration, analyses the contradictions between them in light of development, and provides a reference for the Chinese government for achieving the goal of a sustainable development society Previous studies have focused on various urban pollution indicators and regional economic indicators, but the relationship of urban innovation to the ecological environment has not been researched in depth. is study combines the evaluation index of the urban innovation level and eco-efficiency index, constructs a multidimensional observation system of the urban innovation level, economic level and eco-environment, attempts to find the internal relationship and dynamic development relationship between the urban innovation level and ecological environment change through econometric demonstration, analyses the contradictions between them in light of development, and provides a reference for the Chinese government for achieving the goal of a sustainable development society
