The article explores what factors drive green growth in regions. It looks at how environmental rules, working together on new ideas, and creating eco-friendly innovations affect green growth. The researchers used a method called structural equation model to test their ideas using data from 30 Chinese provinces. They found that working together on new ideas and creating eco-friendly innovations have a positive impact on green growth. They also discovered that following environmental rules leads to better collaboration on new ideas, eco-friendly innovations, and green growth. The model they used is strong and can help us understand how green growth happens in places with environmental rules.
