Abstract: In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, boosting the economy through infrastructure investment has emerged as an imperative tool. Apart from coping with the downward pressure on the economy caused by the pandemic, governments are concerned about green economic growth. Using data for 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China, we examine the impact of infrastructure investment on green economic growth. Our findings are as follows. Infrastructure investment significantly inhibits green economic growth; we discover this outcome to be robust. The impact of infrastructure investment on green economic growth differs for different regions. The negative effect of infrastructure investment on green economic growth is substantial in the central-western region, but it is found to be statistically insignificant in the eastern regions.
