Abstract

As China continues to invest in innovation, the efficiency of innovation input and output of provinces and cities has also become an important indicator of the innovation capabilities, but the relationship between urban innovation efficiency and the intensity of environmental regulations and foreign direct investment from the perspective of all factors, the theoretical community has not given an exact answer. Based on previous studies, this article comprehensively discusses the mechanism of action between FDI, fiscal decentralization, environmental regulation and the efficiency of urban industrial enterprises' green innovation, hoping to inspire future researchers.
