Summary
Capital misallocation hinders green development efficiency in China by limiting technological innovation. This negative impact is more pronounced in central and western regions, requiring targeted policy interventions.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Economics
- Regional Economics
- Innovation Studies
Background:
- Green development efficiency is crucial for sustainable economic growth.
- Capital misallocation is a persistent issue in many economies, potentially impacting environmental outcomes.
- Technological innovation is recognized as a key driver for decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the dual impacts of capital misallocation and technological innovation on green development efficiency in China.
- To empirically assess the mediating role of technological innovation in the relationship between capital misallocation and green development efficiency.
- To explore regional heterogeneity in these relationships across China.
Main Methods:
- Utilized panel data from China spanning 2000-2018.
- Employed the Super-Slacks-Based Measure (Super-SBM) model to evaluate green development efficiency.
- Applied the system generalized method of moments (GMM) for robust empirical estimation.
Main Results:
- Capital misallocation significantly inhibits green development efficiency.
- Capital misallocation negatively affects technological innovation, which is vital for enhancing green development.
- The inhibitory effect of capital misallocation is more severe in China's central and western regions compared to the eastern region.
Conclusions:
- Addressing capital misallocation is essential for improving China's green development efficiency.
- Policies should focus on fostering technological innovation to counteract the negative effects of capital misallocation.
- Tailored regional strategies are needed to mitigate the adverse impacts of capital misallocation on green development, particularly in less developed areas.

Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

89
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...
