Abstrakt: The high-tech industrial convergence of high-tech manufacturing and knowledge-intensive business services is crucial for building a modern industrial system and effectively improving regional green innovation efficiency (GIE). Using data on 30 Chinese provinces between 2006 and 2020, non-angular and non-radial SBM-DEA model and the coupling coordination degree model are used to evaluate China's reginal GIE and high-tech industrial convergence, respectively. Based on the fixed effect model, threshold model, intermediary effect model, and moderating effect model to explain whether and under what conditions high-tech industrial convergence may foster GIE, the following results were obtained. (1) High-tech industrial convergence can be significantly improved and exerts a noticeable threshold effect on GIE. Specifically, GIE will improve when the level of high-tech industrial convergence exceeds a critical threshold. (2) Heterogeneity analysis presents that the impact of high-tech industrial convergence on GIE is the largest in the eastern region, followed by the central region and the smallest in the western region. (3) Mechanism analysis identified regional innovation capacity and industrial structure upgrading as the two effective channels through which high-tech industrial convergence can improve GIE. (4) Further analysis showed that industrial digitalization exerts a positive moderating effect and a threshold effect on the relationship between the high-tech industrial convergence position and GIE. This paper proposes relevant policy recommendations for better high-tech industrial convergence and regional GIE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
