Research on Green Technology Innovation and High-quality Development of Enterprises with Government Support

Green technology is a contemporary new technology application management system that matches ecological environmental protection, and is an independent innovation of technical products and management models. At present, the green transformation and high-quality development of enterprises are highly valued by the national government.The government provides assistance to enterprises from various aspects such as cash, tax incentives, and environmental protection investment. The assistance of relevant government departments helps to send "good signals" to the society of the times , attracting a large number of enterprises to carry out green technology innovation. The support behavior of relevant government departments can also alleviate the financing difficulties of enterprises, reduce the negative impact of financing constraints on research and development costs, promote green technology research and development innovation of enterprises, and promote high-quality economic development. This paper will illustrate the role of government support in green innovation and high-quality development of enterprises from various aspects, including national policy systems, theoretical analysis of relevant green innovation, and feasibility suggestions.

Public Research and Development Funding for Renewable Energy Technologies in Europe: A Cross-Country Analysis

The European Union recognizes the vital role that innovation in renewable energy technologies plays in accelerating the energy transition. In the largest ever transnational research and innovation program, Horizon Europe (2021–2027), the EU allocated 35% of the total budget of €95.5 billion to green technology research. This paper examines public research and development (R&D) funding for renewable energy technologies in 17 European countries from 2000 to 2020 by analyzing its extent, composition, and effectiveness. While large economies lead in the size of total available public R&D support, Nordic countries lead when it comes to available public R&D funding relative to the sizes of their respective economies. Thereby, the share of the European Union’s funding within the total public R&D support available in each country is vastly heterogeneous across countries, ranging from 13% to 63%. Furthermore, based on detailed and recent data, the effectiveness of public R&D funding is estimated through a Negative Binomial Regression model with fixed effects. Overall, public R&D funding is confirmed as an effective driver of green innovation. Like in previous studies, limitations stem from restricted data availability and temporal uncertainty of innovation. These limitations are addressed, which shall incentivize future research and policymaking.

Is resource abundance a curse for green economic growth? Evidence from developing countries

Green economic growth emphasizes the coordinated development of economy and environment under the constraints of resource-carrying and environmental capacities. Many developing countries rich in natural resources face more severe resource and environmental problems with relatively poor green growth performance. In this context, whether an abundance of resources hinders the growth of the green economy has become a significant issue of debate. Here, we use the non-radial distance function to calculate a green economic growth evaluation index and examine the relationships between resource abundance and green economic growth in 40 resource-rich developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We also evaluate the mechanism and transmission pathway between resource abundance and economic growth. Our results show that an abundance of resources restrains the growth rate of the green economy in developing countries mainly via an “innovation effect” and a “technical leader transfer effect”, which promote resource-rich regions to undermine green economic growth. In terms of transmission, this effect exerts a negative impact on green economic growth by squeezing out technological spillovers from technological innovation, human capital investment, and opening up to the outside world. Therefore, governments should increase investment in human capital development, improving infrastructure for green technology research and development, and planning for the settlement of emerging industries and green industries. These strategies are conducive to the realization of green growth transition and sustainable economic development in developing countries.

Knowledge Mapping of Green Technology Visualization with Bibliometric Tools

An increasing number of research literature studies about green technology have been accepted by journals of different disciplines due to the rapid technical progress and innovation in all types of industry. This study uses bibliometric tools of CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyse the key authors’ co-citation network, institution cooperation, the keyword clusters of green technology, and the evolution trend of green technology. We find that since 1960s, the number of research papers with green technology theme has been growing. These papers are mainly involved in fields of economics and business, engineering, and chemistry, in which there exist 13 highest cited papers from 2009 to 2020 based on the Web of Science database. In this study, we find the top 20 journals of green technology with the parameter of literature count and centrality. We find that the cooperation of authors is quite weak with the co-authorship analysis, and we obtain the top 12 institutions in 15 countries dominantly in green technology research through country and institution analysis. We conduct a cluster analysis of keywords related to green technology, and we obtain 10 clusters, with three economical clusters, five engineering clusters, and two chemical clusters. Finally, we summarise green technology with the aid of the timeline view function of CiteSpace system.

The positive role of trade openness in industrial green total factor productivity-provincial evidence from China.

The sustainable development of the economy is a key issue of global concern. Green total factor productivity (GTFP) combining economic growth with resources and the environment can evaluate the quality of economic development comprehensively and accurately. In this paper, super slack-based measure (Super-SBM) model and Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) index were used to calculate GTFP. The trend of industrial GTFP in China's 30 provinces from 2006-2015 was analyzed. Furtherly, a dynamic panel model was used to discuss the impact of trade openness on GTFP. The results showed that (1) the growth rate of GTFP rose from 2007 to 2011 and declined significantly from 2011 to 2015, and GTFP only achieved positive growth in 2011; (2) the growth rate of GTFP in the eastern region was higher than that in the central and western regions; (3) the trend of technical progress change (MLTECH) index was highly consistent with that of ML index. That was, technical progress played a major role in the variation of GTFP; (4) trade openness could significantly improve China's GTFP. Every 1% increase in trade openness could increase GTFP by 0.097% on average. It is advisable to implement differentiated economic development and environmental policies in different regions. Meanwhile, relevant measures can be taken to promote import and export trade, such as encouraging companies to increase investment in green technology research and development, optimizing the trade environment.

Differential game model and coordination model for green supply chain based on green technology research and development

The purpose of this paper is to establish a green supply chain differential game model for green technology research and development based on a secondary green supply chain composed of a single manufacturer and a single retailer. It compares the differential game equilibrium solutions under centralized and decentralized decision-making. The green supply chain members are coordinated through the dynamic wholesale price mechanism, and numerical simulation is used as a methodology, to verify and explain the results. The study found that compared to decentralized decision-making, the level of green technology and the total profit of green channels are higher under centralized decision-making. When the coordination parameters are within a certain range, the dynamic wholesale price mechanism can coordinate the behavior of manufacturers and retailers. The result also discovers that under the dynamic wholesale price mechanism, with the increase of investment cost coefficient, or the increase of price sensitivity or the decrease of consumer's environmental awareness, the green technology level, product green degree, price, retailer's profit, and the total profit of green channel is decreased. In contrast, the wholesale price and manufacturer's profits are increased.

The impact of government subsidies on contract design of green technology R&D cooperation

ABSTRACT Different types of government subsidies are used to promote green technology innovation in many countries. Driven by government subsidies and consumer green preference, it’s common for manufacturers (the marketer) to cooperate with research institutes (the innovator) in green technology research and development (R&D). Managing R&D collaboration under different government subsidies is a challenge for the marketer. Meanwhile, how can the government design the subsidy policies to achieve a better effect is also vital. Thus, a two-level three-player game is proposed. The upper layer is the government's decision on R&D subsidy or per-unit production subsidy, and the lower layer is a principal-agent model composed of a marketer and an innovator, who cooperate simply or deeply with a contract with or without milestone payment. We find that: (a) It is always advantageous for the marketer to offer a milestone payment after successful R&D; (b) Deep R&D cooperation is more profitable for the marketer; (c) R&D subsidy is better at stimulating the environmental performance of green technology cooperation.

An Empirical Study of the Impact of the Air Transportation Industry Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Projects on the Local Economy in China.

Green development has been of particular interest to a range of industries worldwide, one of which being the air transportation industry (ATI). The energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER) projects of the ATI have a huge impact on the local economy. In this study, the input-output method was used to analyze the indirect economic impact of the implementation of the ECER projects of the ATI on the local economy of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region. We examined the direct benefits, backward spread effects, forward spread effects, and consumption multiplier effects. The final results showed that the comprehensive economic income from 2011–2013 in the BTH region reached RMB 4.74 billion. The results revealed that the ECER projects commissioned by the ATI were worth investing from both the economic and social benefits perspectives. To increase the green development effects and promote the sustainable development of the ATI, the special funds provided by the Civil Aviation Administration of China should be invested intensively in basic green technology research and setting green regulating and governance rules.

Expedited patent examination for green inventions: Developing countries' policy choices

Innovation in green technology is important. Patent rights can provide incentives for green technology research and development. Expedited patent examination for green inventions has emerged as a policy instrument to provide such incentives. Developing countries were never opposed to patents for green technologies. China and Brazil have led the way by offering expedited examinations for green patent applications. More developing countries are expected to follow. Expedited examination for green technologies is consistent with the intellectual property system objectives and is justified by the clear social benefit from green technologies. Introducing such expedited programs in developing countries has sufficient advantages. Existing models of expedited programs for green technologies are analyzed to generalize key issues and to discern suitable policy choices for developing countries. When introducing such programs, a balanced definition for green technology is preferred; a special classification requirement is premature and is not recommended; a pre-examination search requirement is generally recommended to balance patent office workloads, and a green patent database is recommended.

Powering the dream: the history and promise of green technology

Few today realize that electric cabs dominated Manhattans streets in the 1890s; that Boise, Idaho, had a geothermal heating system in 1910; or that the first megawatt turbine in the world was built in 1941 by the son of publishing magnate G. P. Putnam--a feat that would not be duplicated for another forty years. Likewise, while many remember the oil embargo of the 1970s, few are aware that it led to a corresponding explosion in green-technology research that was only derailed when energy prices later dropped. In other words: Weve been here before. Although we may have failed, America has had the chance to put our world on a more sustainable path. Americans have, in fact, been inventing green for more than a century. Half compendium of lost opportunities, half hopeful look toward the future, Powering the Dream tells the stories of the brilliant, often irascible inventors who foresaw our current problems, tried to invent cheap and energy renewable solutions, and drew the blueprint for a green future.
