Abstract
The Green Technology Innovation Behavior (GTIB) of construction enterprises is crucial for promoting green development in the construction industry. In order to clarify the mechanism of action affecting the GTIB of construction enterprises, this paper considers the context of green development in the construction industry based on the vector autoregressive model and constructs a theoretical model of GTIB in construction enterprises. Time series data collected by the Chinese government (2000–2018) were used to analyze the mechanism of action of the factors influencing the GTIB of construction enterprises by EViews 10.0. The results of the paper showed the following: (1) direct government investment has the greatest impact on the GTIB of construction enterprises and has made a positive contribution; (2) the added value of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the construction industry has a relatively small impact on the GTIB of construction enterprises; (3) the role of environmental regulation on the GTIB of construction enterprises is non-linear. This paper further broadens the research to the factors influencing the GTIB of construction enterprises. Meanwhile, this paper provides a reference basis for local governments to formulate policies related to the GTIB of construction enterprises.
Highlights
As the process of globalization continues to accelerate, environmental issues are becoming more and more serious [1]
To explain the mechanism of action that affects the Green Technology Innovation Behavior (GTIB) of construction enterprises, this paper constructs a model of the GTIB of construction enterprises based on a multiple linear regression method and conducts impulse response function analysis, variance decomposition analysis, co-integration test and Granger causality analysis
The influence of Uec and R&D on the GTIB of construction enterprises is large and remains significantly positive, reflecting that direct economic investment by the government can better promote the level of GTIB of construction enterprises
Summary
As the process of globalization continues to accelerate, environmental issues are becoming more and more serious [1]. The construction industry is an important part of the national economy of countries around the world [2], its production activities have been accompanied by high consumption, serious pollution, crude construction methods and serious pollution, etc. Many countries have proposed to renovate existing buildings with high energy consumption and poor functionality [4]. In the field of construction technology innovation, patents have been paid attention by countries and regions all over the world. As of 2018, there are 158,471 building patents in the United States (US), 59,891 in the Britain, 89,586 in France, 163,542 in Germany and 92,634 in Japan [5]. Construction technology innovation in the US, Britain, France, Germany, and
