Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Research on the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation on the efficiency of green innovation in Chinas industry: a spatial spillover perspective   Order a copy of this article
    by Zhang Bo, Li Yi 
    Abstract: Using the slack-based measure (SBM) model incorporating undesirable outputs and the global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) index, this study investigates the evolution of industrial green innovation efficiency (IGIE) across 30 provinces in China from 2003 to 2022. A spatial Durbin model is employed to examine the direct and spatial spillover effects of heterogeneous environmental regulations on IGIE. The results show that IGIE in China first accelerated and then stabilised, exhibiting a significant negative spatial spillover effect. Explicit environmental regulations command-and-control, market-based, and voluntary generally have a positive impact on IGIE. In contrast, the role of implicit environmental regulations, represented by wage levels, education, and population density, varies. Wage levels have a U-shaped relationship with local IGIE and an inverted U-shaped relationship with neighbouring regions. Education positively affects the IGIE of nearby regions, while high population density has a negative effect on local IGIE.
    Keywords: industrial green innovation efficiency; IGIE; explicit environmental regulation; implicit environmental regulation; spatial Durbin model; China.
