Abstract: This study examines the effects of green technology innovation on regional economic development and its heterogeneity by using Chinese interprovincial panel data (2010–2020), and analyses the impacts of spatial effect and mediating effect. Green technology innovation can significantly contribute to regional economic development. From a spatial perspective, green technology innovation in surrounding provinces can inhibit regional economic development. Based on intermediary effects, green technology innovation can aid regional economic development by promoting industrial structural transformation, optimizing the energy consumption structure, and enhancing green total factor productivity.
