“…Macro perspective: The proportion of tertiary industry’s added value to added value of industry is used to measure the industrial structure ( isthi ); the proportion of coal consumption in total energy represents the energy structure ( es ); the proportion of local fiscal expenditure in GDP represents local government control ( admin ) (Ren and Fu, 2019 ; Liu et al, 2020a , b ; Bai et al, 2020 ; Peng et al, 2020 ). Among them, the data of tertiary industry added value, industrial added value, and local fiscal expenditure stems from the China Statistical Yearbook.…”

“…Khan et al (2018) argued that only trade liberalization in middle-income countries can play a role in energy conservation and emission reduction in the long run, while for high-income developed countries, trade liberalization will reduce the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Peng et al (2020) asserted that trade openness can optimize the industrial structure to a certain extent, which is beneficial to GTFP. On the other hand, Bandyopadhyay (2006) studied the growth mechanism of GTFP in APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) countries and found that trade openness has a negative impact on the growth of GTFP in a country.…”

The vigorous development of modern information and communication technology (ICT) has driven the digital trade featured by the ICT technique and industry as the carrier. This study empirically tests the impact of ICT-based digital trade openness on green total factor productivity (GTFP) by selecting ICT as the representative digital trade data of 30 provinces in China over the timespan 2002–2018. We employ the slack-based model and global Malmquist–Luenberger (SBM-GML) estimation method to calculate the provincial GTFP and explore the heterogeneous impact of digital trade openness on GTFP through the scale effect, technology effect, and structure effect. In terms of empirical results, the panel fixed model and panel quantile estimation model both suggest the same findings. With the continuous expansion of the scale of digital trade, its scale effect has a significant inhibitory effect on GTFP, whereas the structure effect combined with human capital and the technology effect correlated with technological research and development (R&D) have a significant promoting effect on GTFP. The panel quantile regression model reveals that the interaction intensity increases gradually from a low quantile to high quantile. Further robustness tests also verify the consistency and stability of the results. Finally, the study puts forward corresponding practical suggestions for the construction of a high-quality open pattern of digital trade and the coordinated development of GTFP. The specific policy implications include the following: (1) Emphasize on the penetration and connection effect of the new generation of ICT, and strengthen the construction of enterprise informatization. (2) Expand digital trade openness and broaden the field of industrial cooperation. (3) Optimize the industrial structure of digital trade, and accelerate the development of core industries of digital trade. (4) Gradually promote the transformation of digital trade from relying on quantity and scale to product quality.

“…Green BRI construction involves many areas such as green infrastructure [6], green trade [7], green policy, green investment [8], green finance [9], green technology [10], and so on. Meanwhile, relevant scholars have studied the specific measures of green development, such as developing a circular economy [11], improving energy-economic efficiency, adjusting the industrial structure [12], improving green total-factor energy efficiency [13][14][15], improving environmental indicators [16], using renewable resources [17,18], strengthening global environmental governance, and tackling global climate change. Peng et al [13], for example, found that the green total-factor productivity of the countries along the Silk Road economic belt demonstrated increasing trends with time, and factors such as imports, exports, industrial structure, and urban development influenced the growth of green totalfactor productivity.…”

There is a global need to jointly build the green Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in order to develop a philosophy of ecological civilisation and achieve sustainable development. This paper aims to analyse the temporal and spatial characteristics of the green development cooperation (GDC) network among BRI regions and countries and explore the reasons for its formation. To this end, the first step was to analyse the spatial and temporal characteristics of green development capability in six regions of 104 BRI countries from 2013 to 2019 using the synthetic evaluation model and entropy method. Next, social network analysis was used to analyse three characteristics of the GDC network: network structure, node structure, and community structure. Moreover, the indicators of network strength and network correlation were used to estimate the structural characteristics of the entire GDC network, while degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality were used to estimate the role and status of countries in the GDC network. In addition, modularity optimisation was used to analyse the community structure and regional effects of the GDC network. The results show that (1) the green development capability of the BRI countries has spatial and temporal heterogeneity. (2) The GDC network among the BRI countries has been initially formed, and has the characteristics of high connectedness, high efficiency, low density, and low hierarchy. (3) The GDC network has community structure and regional effect, showing polycentric and hierarchical characteristics. (4) China, Russia, and the European countries have stronger radiating and controlling power. Central Asian countries along the land Silk Road and Indian Ocean countries along the maritime Silk Road play a significant role as intermediaries and bridges, while the BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) countries play a vital role as the central actors. Finally, some theoretical and practical implications are put forward to provide a blueprint for jointly achieving the sustainable development goals.
