Abstract: Applying social network analysis and constructing a spatial econometric model using patent transaction data, we analysed the effect of technology transfer on industrial green transformation. Evidently, technology transfer promotes industrial green transformation (and this finding remains valid after endogeneity and robustness tests), the agglomeration economy, energy-use efficiency and green technology innovation. We also identified a spatial spillover effect that further promotes industrial green transformation. Finally, technology transfer has a heterogeneous effect on industrial green transformation across regions: big cities improve green technological innovation and production efficiency by accumulating more innovation resources and forming closer innovation linkages.
