Abstract

The core driving force of economic development is technological innovation, which, as the main driving force for the coordinated development of the environment and the economy, can provide important support for reducing environmental pollution. China has been committed to promoting the process of marketisation, and most studies have shown that factor market distortions can significantly exacerbate environmental pollution. Although existing studies have explored the effects of technological innovation and factor market distortion on environmental pollution, few studies have examined the relationship between these three factors, and the research perspective is relatively narrow. This single-factor analysis model ignores the possible interaction between technological innovation and factor market distortion on environmental pollution. Therefore, this project investigates how technological innovation and factor market distortion affect environmental pollution from a quantitative perspective, and explores the intrinsic mechanism of technological innovation and factor market distortion on environmental pollution; it also provides theoretical and practical bases for the management of environmental pollution and the promotion of China's economic development with high quality from a new perspective.
