Sažetak
In tandem with global initiatives to ‘go green’, China is undertaking a series of steps to achieve green economic growth. To investigate the dynamic nexus of green growth, green trade, and
green energy (3 G) in China, an index is developed in this study
to assess the level of provincial green growth by employing five
types of indicators – economic growth, environmental pollution
loss, carbon emissions loss, natural resource loss, and environmental and natural resource benefits. Then, this paper uses the
SYS-GMM method to explore the influences of green trade and
green energy on green growth by using data compiled from 30
provinces in China over the period 2007–2016. Furthermore, we
check the potential heterogeneity, asymmetry, and internal mediating mechanism of the 3 G nexus. The main findings are highlighted as follows: (1) Green trade and green energy can
accelerate China’s green growth; (2) enhancing medium- and
high-technology green trade can contribute to improving local
green growth; (3) this impact is heterogeneous in regions with
different trade levels, and asymmetric at various quantiles for the
full panel; (4) the positive investment effect, labour effect, and
technical effect are effective mediators of the nexus between
green trade and green growth.
