“…Several aspects of the nexus between export and green technological development have been examined at the aggregate level. By exploring different directions of causality at the firm, industry and country level, a wide array of studies has focused on the export-green innovation nexus generally highlighting a positive relationship between (policy/regulation induced) eco-innovations and export competitiveness/performance 7,8 , quality 9 , propensity 10 , or diversification 11 (for a review on the topic with a special focus on agrifood supply chains see Galera-Quiles et al 12 ). However, previous research has largely looked at the link between overall green technological innovation and overall or sector specific export at highly aggregated levels-i.e., by focusing respectively on green patent counts and export volumes (or intensity/participation rates etc.…”

We study the empirical relationship between green technologies and industrial production at very fine-grained levels by employing Economic Complexity techniques. Firstly, we use patent data on green technology domains as a proxy for competitive green innovation and data on exported products as a proxy for competitive industrial production. Secondly, with the aim of observing how green technological development trickles down into industrial production, we build a bipartite directed network linking single green technologies at time $$t_1$$ t 1 to single products at time $$t_2 \ge t_1$$ t 2 ≥ t 1 on the basis of their time-lagged co-occurrences in the technological and industrial specialization profiles of countries. Thirdly, we filter the links in the network by employing a maximum entropy null-model. Our results emphasize a strong connection between green technologies and the export of products related to the processing of raw materials, notably crucial for the development of climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies. Furthermore, by looking at the evolution of the network over time, we observe a growing presence of more complex green technologies and high-tech products among the significant links, suggesting an increase in their importance in the network.

“…For innovation and export quality, it has previously been observed that microlevel enterprises should pay attention to management capabilities to improve product innovation and quality, which leads to export performance enhancement (Lages, Silva, and Styles 2009). It is now well-established from various studies that innovation is a critical component in export quality improvement (Faruq and Webb 2016;Chai 2022;Wang and Liu 2022). Besides, Lianying Hong et al also found the impact of industrial robots on the quality upgrading of export products from two aspects: the change of enterprises' costs and the structural effect of labor allocation (Hong et al 2022).…”

This paper aims to research the direct and indirect effects of human capital structure on export quality at the firm level. The empirical analysis is carried out using firm-year data by matching three Databases based on specific rules. The Benchmark regression directly verifies the positive effect of human capital structure on export quality. Moreover, the intermediary effect test suggests that innovation capacity is a channel for the human capital structure to improve export quality. However, the mediating effect only accounts for 17% of the total effect that human capital structure plays on export quality. Additionally, this paper finds that the influence of local human resources on a firm's human capital structure varies by region, with firms in the eastern region having a significant impact on intermediation effects compared to those in the central and western regions.

“…As China's economic development enters a new normal and its people yearn for a better life, it is imperative to speed up the transformation of the economic development pattern, focus on innovation and highlight green orientation. As an emerging technology designed to reduce energy consumption, reduce pollution, and improve ecology, green technology innovation has the dual advantages of realizing economic efficiency and environmental protection [4], and plays an important role in improving the green competitiveness of enterprises, alleviating pressure on resources and the environment and creating market demand [5]. In January 2019, China's Comprehensive Deepening Reform Commission adopted the "Guiding Opinions on Building a Market-Oriented Green Technology Innovation System", echoing the 19th CPC National Congress Report's request to "build a market-oriented green technology innovation system" and clearly stating that green technology innovation is an important driving force for green development and a key to promoting high-quality co-ordinated development (HQCD).…”

High-quality development (HQD) is a fundamental requirement for current and future macroeconomic regulation in China. This study measured the high-quality co-ordinated development (HQCD) index of 284 cities in China from 2010 to 2019 using the entropy weighted TOPSIS method and coupled co-ordination model, and examined the impact of regional HQCD on enterprises’ green technology choices by combining data from Chinese listed companies. The results show the following: (1) Regional HQCD significantly promotes enterprises’ green technology choices, but does not substantially change the direction of their green technology progress. Specifically, co-ordinated regional economic–ecological system development promotes the enterprises’ technological progress toward green practices. Moreover, co-ordinated urban development has a self-reinforcing effect on the preference for green technology choices. (2) Regional HQCD enhances the screening effect of enterprises on green technology by alleviating financial constraints and increasing the awareness of social responsibility. (3) Regional HQCD has a more pronounced promotional effect on green technologies in the categories of transportation; energy conservation; and administration, regulation, or design. Private enterprises and cities with a high-administrative rank responded to the green technology selection effect of regional HQCD. This study enriches the theory and literature on the influence of government policies on firm behavior, and also provides a reference for the international community.
