Abstract:In the process of the promotion the supply-side structural reform and the implementation of the strategy of innovation-driven development, improving the green innovation efficiency is an important way to achieve green development. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2017, we measure green innovation efficiency and green development efficiency of each province based on the SBM-Undesirable model, and then calculate the coupling coordination of each province between green innovation efficiency and green development efficiency based on the coupling coordination degree model, and finally analyze the regional differences and their trend. The result is as follows: In general, the green development efficiency are low in most provinces from 2009 to 2017, and overall the efficiency of green development is relatively low but the provinces’ difference in green development efficiency is shrinking and the green development efficiency is constantly increasing during the period of sample survey ; The overall efficiency of green innovation is relatively high and stable, the innovation efficiency are high in most provinces from 2009 to 2017,and the green innovation efficiency has a slowly rising trend in volatility; There is a strong interaction and high coordination level between green innovation efficiency and green development efficiency, The interaction and coordination level have an increasing trend, but there is still plenty of scope for improvement in the interaction. Therefore, specific policy recommendations were put forward to provide decision support for further promoting the coordinated development of green innovation and green development.
