“…Zhao et al [16] found that fiscal decentralization significantly promoted environmental pollution, especially in economically underdeveloped areas. Cheng and Zhu [17], Yin et al [18] and Wang et al [19] conducted a study of Chinese cities and found that increased fiscal decentralization significantly aggravates smog pollution in and around the studied regions. Guo et al [20] found that increasing fiscal decentralization would help improve the carbon productivity of the province but would inhibit the carbon productivity of neighboring provinces.…”

In the context of accelerating economic transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively promoting the construction of digital China and ecological civilization in China, this paper uses text mining and OLS to quantitatively study the relationship between fiscal decentralization, enterprise digital transformation and green innovation in 31 provinces from 2011 to 2021. This study finds that fiscal decentralization will promote enterprise green innovation and digital transformation, and that digital transformation has a partial mediating effect between fiscal decentralization and enterprise green innovation. Furthermore, this expansive study finds that fiscal decentralization has a positive role in promoting the green innovation of heterogeneous enterprises and enterprises in different regions, among which its promotion effect on state-owned enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises, and its promotion effect on enterprises in the central and western regions is higher than that of enterprises in the eastern region. Moreover, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between fiscal decentralization and the green innovation of enterprise. In addition, financing constraints have a masking effect between fiscal decentralization and green innovation in enterprise and green innovation significantly promotes enterprise environmental, social and governance (ESG) development.

“…The primary explanatory variable in this study is haze pollution, represented by PM 2.5 . Haze pollution is a fundamental indicator used to assess the severity of haze pollution within China [41]. To measure haze pollution in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the annual average concentration values of PM 2.5 for each prefecture-level city were selected from 2004 to 2020.…”

The rapid economic growth of China has caused significant adverse effects on the environment. Meanwhile, technological innovation, a fundamental driver of economic development and social progress, plays a pivotal role in mitigating haze pollution. This study comprehensively examines the influence of technological innovation on haze pollution in the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, using the STIRPAT model and analyzing research data from 2004 to 2020. Additionally, the study investigates the specific moderating role of urban spatial structure in the relationship between technological innovation and haze pollution. The findings reveal that technological innovation in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration can effectively curtail haze pollution, and its impact extends to surrounding areas through spillover effect. The polycentric urban spatial structure significantly enhances the haze-reducing effect of technological innovation in the region. Notably, in cities with a strong level of environmental regulation, the urban spatial structure plays a substantial role in augmenting the haze-reducing impact of technological innovation. The policy implications of this research underscore the importance of continuous improvement in technological innovation within the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration. To address haze pollution in future development, the adoption of a polycentric development strategy and the establishment of sound environmental governance policies are recommended.

“…The study of the factors that contribute to air pollution reduction has been a hot topic in academia. So far, the main influencing factors include the level of economic development (Lin et al, 2014;Xie al, 2016;Jin et al, 2017;Ahmed et al, 2021), environmental regulation Wang and Li, 2021;, industrial structure (Pei et al, 2021;Xue et al, 2021), transport infrastructure (Kinney et al, 2011;Lozhkin et al, 2020;Liu and Dong, 2021), technological progress (Chen et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2020;Ma et al, 2022), financial development (Yang et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2022) and financial capacity (Kuai et al, 2019;Mahmood, 2020;Yang et al, 2022;Yin et al, 2022). Among these factors technological progress is an important means of air pollution abatement, most previous studies have focused on the impact of technological progress on air pollution abatement (Wang et al, 2019;Dong et al, 2020;Amann et al, 2020;Jahanger et al, 2022).…”

Environmental policies and Environmentally biased technological advances have important theoretical value and practical significance for air pollution reduction and green economic development in China. The article is based on panel data for 270 cities in China from 2007 to 2020. Using a Spatial model, the direct, spillover and moderating effects of Environmentally biased technological progress on “local-neighbourhood” urban air pollution are examined empirically. On this basis, the PSTR model is used to further explore the non-linear effects of different types of environmental regulations. The study found that: 1) There is a significant positive spatial correlation between both air pollution and Environmentally biased technological progress in China. Environmentally biased technological progress significantly suppresses air pollution, with significant spatial spillover effects, and the conclusions remain robust after a series of robustness tests. 2) Different types of environmental regulations reinforce the dampening effect of Environmentally biased technological progress on air pollution. However, informal environmental regulation only reinforces the dampening effect of Environmentally biased technological progress on air pollution in the local cities. 3) There is a significant threshold effect of environmental regulation on the impact of Environmentally biased technological progress on air pollution. When the level of environmental regulation within a certain threshold interval, Environmentally biased technological progress has a dampening effect on air pollution. 4) The more eastern the city, the larger the city and the non-resource-based cities, the more significant the air pollution suppression effect of Environmentally biased technological advances. Based on this, this study points out that governments at all levels should pay attention to the spatial spillover effect of technological progress bias on air pollution, deepen the construction of joint prevention and control mechanisms for regional air pollution control; Establish multiple environmental regulation policies, formulate and implement environmental regulation policies according to local conditions and local technological progress bias; Formulate targeted environmental regulation policies and technological innovation policies according to the characteristics of different cities. It is an important theoretical reference to help China to fight the battle against air pollution in-depth and to promote further improvement of ecological and environmental quality.
