Abstract

Improving the efficiency of green technology innovation is the core element to promote my country's new advantages of resource conservation and environmental friendliness under the new dual-cycle development pattern, and it is also the main driving force for the establishment of an efficient and sustainable economic and high-quality development model. In this paper, 30 provinces in China are used as case samples to establish a green innovation efficiency evaluation system for each province in my country. The fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method is used to explore the driving force of Multiple paths of green technology innovation. The research found that: (1) A single environmental support or technology supply cannot effectively stimulate the improvement of green technology innovation efficiency, and linkage and matching are needed to jointly improve the efficiency of green technology innovation. (2) There are three configuration paths to generate high-green technological innovation, namely, the diversification-driven type market-driven path led by the technological investment and a free and open type led by technological investment.
