How does science and technology innovation improve carbon productivity?-Evidence at China's province level.

Science and technological innovation play a crucial role in achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. They are also vital for improving the scale, structure, and allocation of input and output factors, as well as enhancing the marginal efficiency of production factors. This study investigates the impact of science and technological innovation on carbon productivity using data from 30 provinces (cities, and autonomous regions) in China spanning the period from 2004 to 2020. The findings are as follows: First, the spatial characteristics of carbon productivity in China have gradually evolved into "low in the northern regions and high in the southern regions." The spatial distribution of science and technological innovation in China shows a gradual decrease from the southeast to the northwest. Second, employing the fixed effect model, we find that science and technological innovation has a significant positive effect on carbon productivity, with regional variations in the magnitude of the effect. Furthermore, we identify industrial structure rationalization, industrial structure advancement, and industrial structure ecology as important mechanisms through which science and technological innovation influence carbon productivity. The mediation effects are measured at 3.37%, 8%, and 73.94%, respectively. These research findings provide valuable insights for enhancing technological innovation capabilities, realizing low-carbon development, and addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

Assessing the competitiveness of listed Chinese high-growth companies in the STAR market.

This paper aims to assess the competitiveness of 68 high-growth enterprises listed on China's STAR market and explore the combination of antecedent conditions that led to their listing using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. The interpretive structure model was utilized to identify the factors influencing their competitiveness, and the listing index weight for the STAR market was determined using the analytic hierarchy process. The competitiveness of the listed enterprises was found to be promising, with new energy, next-generation IT, and high-end equipment manufacturing being the most prominent fields. However, energy conservation and environmental protection exhibited relatively weak listed competitiveness. The listing of these enterprises was the result of multiple factors rather than a single factor. The listing paths of high-growth enterprises in China were classified into three types: well-operated with high technical competence and innovation-led, high-profit with low growth and innovation, and large-scale, high-profit, and innovation-led.

Dynamic Scenario Analysis of Science and Technology Innovation to Support Chinese Cities in Achieving the "Double Carbon" Goal: A Case Study of Xi'an City.

Since the Chinese government proclaimed the "double carbon" goal in 2020, carbon emissions reduction has become an important task for the Chinese government. Cities generate more than 60% of carbon emissions. There are many challenges in achieving the "double carbon" goal for the cities of China. Science and technology innovation (STI) provides a feasible path, and the mechanism of STI influencing carbon emissions is analyzed. The STI factors, economic factors, energy factors, and population factors are studied based on the generalized Divisia index method. According to the decomposing results, science and technology innovation investment is the most important increasing factor in carbon emissions, and technology innovation investment efficiency is the most important decreasing factor, respectively. Three scenarios are set up and simulated with Monte Carlo technology evaluating the city of Xi'an in China. Under the baseline development scenario, it cannot achieve the carbon peak goal, and the uncertainty of carbon emissions increases. Under the green development scenario, it will peak in 2051, with a 95% confidence interval of 6668.47-7756.90 × 104 tons. Under the technology breakthrough scenario, the lower and median boundaries of carbon emissions peak at 4703.94 × 104 tons and 4852.39 × 104 tons in 2026, and the upper boundary peaks at 5042.15 × 104 tons in 2030. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve theory, it will peak between 2028 and 2029 with a GDP per capita of CNY 153,223.85. However, it will fail to achieve the carbon neutrality goal by 2060, and should rely on the national carbon trading market of China to achieve the goal with a trading volume of 2524.61-3007.01 × 104 tons.

Research on the Efficiency of Green Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Resource Allocation Based on a Three-Stage DEA Model-A Case Study of Anhui Province, China.

In order to achieve sustainable development of agriculture, people have gradually begun to attach importance to the development of low-carbon agriculture and to regard green agricultural technology innovation and promotion as increasingly more important. Taking the Anhui Province of China as an example, this study analyzed the impact of green agricultural science and technology innovation resource allocation on rural revitalization by constructing an econometric model. We found that the overall efficiency of the overall allocation of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in Anhui Province increased in the sample period, but the scale efficiency level was relatively low. The key path to improving the overall efficiency of allocation was to improve the scale efficiency level. The allocation of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in 16 cities and prefectures performed well in terms of pure technical efficiency, but there were significant differences in scale efficiency, which further affected the overall allocation efficiency of different regions. Among them, the allocation efficiencies of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in Hefei and Fuyang were at the leading level in Anhui Province. Similar to the overall situation of the province, the improvement path of areas with low comprehensive efficiency lay in the improvement of scale efficiency. In view of this, from the policy level, we need to optimize the relationship between the government and the market, speed up the construction of platforms and carriers, attach importance to the construction of the agricultural science and technology talent training system, and improve the open sharing mechanism.

Research on Health and Thermal Comfort of Unit-Type Student Apartments in the Western China Science and Technology Innovation Harbor.

Background: In China, the collective living mode of "multiple people living in one room" is widely used in college students' dormitories; the space environment has high personnel density and poor thermal comfort and healthy environment. The unit-type apartments were completed in the western China science and technology innovation harbor that considers personal independence and public activity spaces. Aim: The purpose of this study is to explore the applicability, thermal comfort, healthy environment, and the correlation of influencing variables of the new unit-type apartment. Especially the influence of physical parameters on personal space under heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Method: The field investigations and questionnaires to conduct a personal study of architectural space, healthy environment, and thermal comfort were carried out, and the measurement tests of the building's physical environment were carried out in winter and summer semesters. Results: The questionnaires survey shows that the privacy of the unit apartment is satisfactory, and the independent learning and communication is increased. The field measurement results show that due to the narrow space of the private room, the floor radiant heating mode still forms a hot and dry thermal environment in winter, and the temperature fluctuates significantly after the air conditioner is turned on in summer. Conclusions: The unit-type apartments align with young students' physiological and psychological characteristics and the behavioral aspects of postgraduates, with high comprehensive satisfaction up to 80%. However, the indoor thermal environment quickly fluctuates due to the narrow independent space. Moreover, 90% of the window ventilation ratio shows that it has become the main measure to actively regulate the indoor climate, which is beneficial to students' health but increases energy waste and further aggravates the fluctuation of the thermal environment. More refined regulations should be executed for heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.
