Abstract

The ecological environmental technology innovation system plays a crucial role in the development of Chinese ecological civilization. This study researches the effect of the technology innovation output (TIO) on environmental governance, extending this notion to ecological environmental technology innovation atmosphere (EETIA). The dual dynamic processes, the resource change and the innovation influence processes have imported. Two processes have the counity in time, which put this effect research into the dynamic change. A regional radiation effect model, employed to describe resource transmission between regions, is applied in completing the first process. The analysis reveals TIO exerts a current impact with a negative linear influence on EETIA in the short time. Moving to the second process, which addresses long-term impacts, it is found that TIO influence exhibits a positive impact on EETIA. Grouping regions and policy simulations justify that accelerating the first process will facilitate a quicker realization of the second process.
