This relationship is evaluated through three variables representing green growth, namely green Investment, green Innovation and green Trade. The main findings indicate that green Innovation has a slightly positive correlation to economic performance, while the relations of Investment and Trade to economic performance appear to be mixed. Consequently, the findings contribute to the complex debate on the relationship between green growth and economic performance and provide recommendations for policymakers and future research. (Less)
