This study constructs a theoretical framework to analyze the impact of local government‐led construction land supply (LGCLS) strategies on urban innovation. It uses data related to 265 cities in China from 2005 to 2019 for empirical analysis. Its conclusions are as follows. For development stage differences, the impact of LGCLS strategies on urban innovation exhibited an inverted U shape with economic growth. The inflection point occurred when the per capita GDP equaled approximately RMB23,101 in 2008. For regional differences, the inflection point in eastern China is higher and earlier than that in central and western China; before the inflection point, the positive influence was more obvious in the central and western regions, whereas after the inflection point, the negative influence was more obvious in the eastern region. For the eastern Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations and the northwestern resource‐based urban agglomerations with relatively high per capita GDP, the negative impact of LGCLS strategies on urban innovation occurred earlier and showed spatial agglomeration characteristics.

“…China’s intellectual property protection system is underdeveloped (Fang et al 2017 ), and the compensatory effects of innovation may not be adequate to bridge the costs to enterprises. Tian et al ( 2021 ) found that after a Chinese pilot program on green transformation was launched, innovation in cities declined by about 29%. It is well known that TFP is a comprehensive Solow residual, and it can be decomposed into the effects of technological progress and resource allocation (Chen et al 2021 ).…”

The impact of energy consumption structure transformation on firms’ total factor productivity: evidence from China

New energy strategies are crucial to address energy and environmental issues, but the energy consumption transition may also affect firm behavior with unintended economic consequences. Using data from A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2019, this paper investigates the impact of energy consumption structure transformation on firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) using China’s new energy demonstration city (NEDC) policy as a shock. It is found that the NEDC reduces firms’ TFP by about 6.4%. This conclusion still holds after a series of robustness and endogeneity tests. According to the channel analysis, NEDC reduces the efficiency of firms’ resource allocation and innovation, resulting in efficiency losses. Furthermore, differences in firms’ ownership and geographical location make the impact of NEDC on TFP heterogeneous. For example, the hindering effect of NEDC on TFP is more pronounced in private firms and firms in regions with lower marketization. This paper shows that the promotion and application of new energy may have certain economic costs. To better balance the benefits and costs of new energy strategies, the government and other relevant departments should increase policy flexibility and perfection.

“…Ouyang et al (2020) and Tian et al (2021) stressed that the process of China’s environmental governance has reached a critical moment. Strictly implementing environmental policies should not be relaxed, and efforts should be made to increase support for enterprises to ensure that they are more motivated to innovate in green technologies [ 16 , 17 ]. Peng et al (2021) found the logical chain of “environmental regulation—stimulating green innovation intention—promoting green innovation behavior” and found that industrial agglomeration plays an active moderating role in the logical chain [ 18 ].…”

This paper examines the impact of environmental uncertainty and environmental regulation on enterprises’ green technological innovation, using a panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2005 to 2019 to conduct an empirical study using an OLS model and Poisson regression model. We employ environmental complexity and environmental dynamism to measure environmental uncertainty, and we have the following findings: first, both environmental uncertainty and environmental regulation promote enterprises’ green technological innovation, while environmental regulation has positive moderating effects on the relationship between environmental uncertainty and enterprises’ green technological innovation; second, environmental complexity positively affects enterprises’ green technological innovation, while environmental dynamism has negative effects on enterprises’ green technological innovation; third, environmental regulation accentuates the relationship between environmental complexity and green technological innovation, while it weakens the relationship between environmental dynamism and green technological innovation.
