Abstract

In the present period of economic development of China, the important questions concerning economic development that must be explored are whether innovative activities have an influence on regional low carbon economic growth and in what way this influence is achieved. From a macro perspective, this paper selected the panel data of 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2003 to 2017, investigating the influence of innovation activities on the growth of regional low-carbon economy and its mechanism. The empirical results showed that innovation activities had significantly promoted the growth of regional low-carbon economy, and the intermediary effect test proved that this promotion could be achieved by promoting the progress of green technology and reducing the intensity of environmental regulation. After changing the core explanatory variables, the above conclusions are still valid, indicating that the results of this paper are robust and credible.
