Abstract: The study aims to explore the spatial association network characteristics of biased green innovation in the manufacturing sector and its core drivers. This study constructs a Malmquist-Luenberger decomposition index model to identify the input and output biases of green technological innovation (GIIM and GIOM) in the manufacturing industry. This study uses a modified gravity model and social network analysis method to conduct a robust assessment of GIIM spatial association network of 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2021. The results show: (1) The GIIM association network structure is stable and has good accessibility, with close connections between provinces and blocks, and significant spillover effects between provinces. (2) The regional network shows a “core-periphery” spatial variation, with the core area expanding and the peripheral area shrinking. (3) The digital transformation characteristics of the network components and the intensity of environmental regulation have a significant impact on GIIM.
