“…The STI levels in central and eastern cities such as Wuhu and Hefei were greater than 0.8, while western cities were below 0.2. In Zhang et al's study, there were differences in STI efficiency in different regions of Anhui, which affected the level of regional green development, and this paper also confirmed this result [56]. Due to their geographical advantages, the eastern cities can integrate more quickly into the construction of the Yangtze River Delta economic circle and can make full use of their location advantages to strengthen economic and trade cooperation with the neighboring developed provinces.…”

The coupling of and coordination between science and technology innovation (STI) and sustainable development (SD) is a basic requirement for Anhui Province’s economic high-quality development. According to panel data of 16 prefecture-level cities in Anhui Province from 2010 to 2021, the entropy method was applied to quantify the comprehensive development level of the two systems. The models of coupling coordination degree, grey GM (1, 1), and ARIMA prediction were constructed to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamic evolution features of the two systems’ coupling coordination. In the time series, the two systems’ comprehensive development showed a steady increase, a high level of coupling, and an increasing overall trend of coupling coordination. Moreover, the two systems’ coupling and coordination levels show the gradient spatial differentiation characteristics of “central > east > west.” The prediction shows that the two systems’ coupling coordination degree exhibits a monotonic increasing trend and reaches the optimal coupling coordination state around 2030. This study provides a decision-making reference for the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy of Anhui Province.

“…Fethi and Rahuma (2020) supported the positive and significant effects of eco‐innovation on CE in selected petroleum companies. In addition, Carrión‐Flores and Innes (2010), Y. J. Zhang et al (2017), Y. Wang and Zhao (2015), K. Zhang et al (2019), and Cheng et al (2019) revealed that eco‐innovation is positively associated with environmental quality. In addition to these studies, Ding et al (2021) also reported on the impact of eco‐innovation on CE in G‐7 economies.…”

In the past decade, researchers have shifted their interests to explore different ways to mitigate environmental degradation. In that context, the present study explores the role of solar energy and eco‐innovation in reducing environmental degradation in China. The study utilized data for the period 1990–2018 and applied the latest available econometric technique, a quantile autoregressive distributed lag model, to determine the impacts of solar energy and eco‐innovation on improving China's environmental quality. According to the empirical results, in the long term, solar energy is negatively and significantly associated with CO2 emissions at higher quantiles. Eco‐innovation has proven to be the most important channel to mitigate CO2 emissions in China. Eco‐innovation is exerting a negative and significant influence on CO2 emissions at all quantiles in the long term. In addition, the population size is causing CO2 emissions to surge significantly at lower quantiles. The empirical analysis reveals that per capita income (PI) is positively associated with CO2 emissions at all quantiles, but it is significant only at higher quantiles in China. We found evidence of unidirectional causality for eco‐innovation to CO2 emissions and solar energy to CO2 emissions. However, for population and CO2 emissions, per capita income, and CO2 emissions, we found bidirectional causality. As indicated by our empirical results, solar energy and eco‐innovation are the two most effective channels to control CO2 emissions in China. Therefore, policies based on the promotion of eco‐innovation and the initiation of new solar energy projects can control emissions and improve environmental quality in China.

This paper investigates the complex causal relationships between various types of environmental regulatory instruments (ERI) and agri-firms’ technological innovation employing fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The study finds a well-designed set of ERI can promote technological innovation in agribusiness; control-command ERI cannot promote technological innovation in agribusiness solely, market-incentivized ERI is indispensable in promoting firms’ innovation performance, implicit ERI plays an important role in promoting firms’ innovation and voluntary ERI does not play a significant role in promoting firms’ technological innovation. The government should coordinate among various types of ERI and improve the design of ERI to achieve a win-win situation for both economic and environmental performance in the agriculture sector.
