Abstract:The development model of green as the first, low-carbon first cannot be separated from the innovative empowerment of "talent wealth" and "wealth". We select the sample data of 30 provinces in China from 2007 to 2020, measure the level of scientific and technological talent concentration and green financial development using entropy weight method, identify the conjugate relationship between the two, determine the existence of conjugate effect, and quantify it into the regression model using Harken's model, and analyze the role of the level of green technological innovation. Finally, the factors affecting the level of conjugate effect are explored with a view to enhancing green innovation empowerment. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) The two systems of scientific and technological talent pooling and green financial development promote each other and each of them directly and indirectly promotes green technological innovation through the intermediary of the other, i.e., there is a conjugate effect. (2) Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the enabling effect of the conjugate effect on the level of green technological innovation is more obvious in the central region and regions with high informationization level, while the enabling effect is difficult to be exerted in regions with high level of environmental regulation and small population size. (3) The level of green economy development, the level of transportation, and foreign direct investment have a positive effect on the covariate effect; the contribution of energy structure is significantly negative; the level of urbanization and the level of environmental regulation have a non-significant positive effect. From the perspective of the non-independence of the two elements of "talent and wealth" and "wealth", this paper answers the question of whether they can empower green technological innovation under the conjugate drive, and provides a good solution for the provinces to take into account both "talent accumulation" and "wealth accumulation". This paper provides empirical evidence and policy references for provinces to realize low carbon greening by taking "talent accumulation" and "wealth accumulation" into account.
