Digital Innovation and Green Technology in China: Mechanisms, Threshold Effects, and Developmental Implications

Abstract
This study investigates how digital innovation influences green technology innovation (GTI) in China, using provincial panel data from 2011 to 2023. It explores three transmission mechanisms—technology diffusion, R&D, and policy support—and further examines GTI’s downstream effects on economic growth and employment. The analysis reveals a complex, partially nonlinear relationship, with regional heterogeneity between Eastern and Central– Western China. Robustness checks and IV strategies support the empirical validity, offering policy insights into how digitalization can drive sustainable development.
