Abstract: Abstract Based on the perspective of government-dominated and market-driven industrial co-agglomeration mode, the effect of producer services and manufacturing industrial co-agglomeration on the ecological environment pollution control is explored by using spatial Durbin model, and the mediating effect of technological innovation is further tested. The results show that: (1) At the national level, the government-dominated industrial co-agglomeration only significantly promotes the local ecological environment pollution control, while the market-driven industrial co-agglomeration also can promote the ecological environment pollution control in the surrounding region through its spatial spillover effect. Moreover, there is a significant inverted “U-shaped” curve relationship between the economic development level and ecological environment pollution. Additionally, the environment regulation is also conducive to promoting the ecological environment pollution control, while the industrial structure and foreign direct investment will lead to more serious ecological environment pollution; (2) In the east region, the government-dominated and market-driven industrial co-agglomeration can promote the ecological environment pollution control in the local and surrounding regions, and the promotion effect and spatial spillover effect of market-driven industrial co-agglomeration are greater. However, in the central and west regions, the government-dominated industrial co-agglomeration and market-driven industrial co-agglomeration only promote the local ecological environment pollution control. (3) Technological innovation has partial mediating effect in the impact of government-dominated and market-driven industrial co-agglomeration on the ecological environment pollution control, namely that the government-dominated and market-driven industrial co-agglomeration not only can directly promote the ecological environment pollution control, but also can indirectly promote the ecological environment pollution control through the mediating effect of technological innovation.
