Measuring and Analyzing the Efficiency of Low-Carbon Technology Innovation in China

Kun Cheng

Abstract


The economic growth realized under the rugged development mode has led to serious resource consumption and environmental
pollution problems, and the traditional high energy consumption and low efficiency development mode is contrary to the international economic background that advocates the concept of green development nowadays, and this kind of economic development mode at the expense
of natural resources and the environment makes China’s high-quality development stagnate. And realizing China’s economic development
through technological innovation is a strategic tool that China has always used. Low-carbon technological innovation, as the key to achieving the dual-carbon goal, is of great significance for China to realize sustainable development. Based on this background, this paper takes
low-carbon technological innovation and measures the efficiency of low-carbon technological innovation in China from 2011 to 2021 through
the SBM-Malmquist model with unintended output, to measure the results based on the analysis of the current situation of low-carbon technological innovation in the country and the region, and found that despite the fluctuations in the average annual efficiency value, China’s
low-carbon technological innovation as a whole shows an upward trend, but there are large regional differences in China’s low-carbon technological innovation.
The research results reflect the problems of low-carbon technological innovation in China, enrich the research results of low-carbon
technological innovation, and provide some insights into the realization of sustainable development in China.

Keywords
