| Abstract |
China's crude economic development has led to high pollution and inefficiency of urban land use. Environmental regulation (Er) is crucial for governments to promote green growth and efficient land use. Using a dataset of 271 cities in China from 2011 to 2020, this paper investigates the threshold effect of green innovation in science and technology and industrial structure optimization on Er impacts of urban land green use efficiency (Ulee). The results show that (1) Er positively affects Ulee. (2) There is a threshold effect of green innovation in science and technology (Gin) and industrial structure upgrading (Ind) in Er affecting Ulee, and the force decreases as the threshold value increases. (3) Within the examination of heterogeneity, the impact of Er on Ulee is more significant in eastern, high levels of urbanization and large cities, but the force of action is smaller. Based on the nonlinear force of Er, it is crucial to maximize the effectiveness of green land use by giving full play to the interactive synergistic effect of the "combination box" and dynamically and flexibly adjusting the intensity of Er according to the time, place, and state of urban development. |
