The Impact of Foreign and Indigenous Innovations on the Energy Intensity of China’s Industries

Shuxing Chen, Xiangyang Du, Junbing Huang, Cheng Huang · 2019 · Sustainability

Summary. Indigenous innovation drives down industrial energy intensity in China more effectively than foreign innovation. Foreign direct investment and imports reduce energy intensity, while exports increase it. The relationship between foreign innovation and energy intensity depends on a sector's technological absorptive capacity. Policymakers should maximize technology spillovers and consider sector-specific factors when targeting industrial energy efficiency.
