Abstract：In this paper， spatial Dubin model， mediating effect model and other methods are used to empirically analyze the influence and the mechanism of manufacturing servitization on regional green innovation efficiency based on panel data of provinces in China from 2006 to 2019. It's found that the regional green innovation efficiency has significant spatial agglomeration characteristics and spatial spillover effects. At the national level， there is a significant “N”-shaped relationship between the manufacturing servitization and the green innovation efficiency. This conclusion is still valid after considering the endogenity and robustness.There is significant regional heterogeneity and industry heterogeneity in the impact of manufacturing servitization on the green innovation efficiency. Compared with the other region， the manufacturing servitization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has a more significant impact on the green innovation efficiency.The servitization of capital-intensive manufacturing and the servitization of technology-intensive manufacturing have an “N”-shaped impact on the regional green innovation efficiency. The servitization of labor-intensive manufacturing has an insignificant impact on the regional green innovation efficiency. The analysis of the intermediary effect suggests that firm growth and the innovation agglomeration are the intermediary mechanism through which the servitization of the manufacturing industry affects the efficiency of regional green innovation. Brief policy recommendations are put forward based on the conclusions.
