A concern with the mitigation of climate change cuts a transversal line across economic agents, epitomized by two contradictory viewpoints. Some defend that green growth can be achieved without harming economic growth; others argue that it is not possible to respect sustainability if intensive consumption of goods continues to foster economic growth. Our research aims to analyze the role that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovations play in green growth and ascertain the impact of green growth on economic growth. We use aggregated country‐level data provided by the OECD, including national accounts, population, and environment statistics (including patents) between 1990 and 2013 for 32 countries, corresponding to an unbalanced panel of 591 observations. We estimate econometric models based on dynamic panel methodologies to capture differences that exist over time. The results show that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovation promote green growth, which in turn positively impacts economic growth. We contribute new insight to the green growth versus economic growth debate and provide several political and management implications.

绿色增长与经济增长：可持续技术转让和创新是否会导致选择不完善？

对减缓气候变化的关注在经济主体之间割断了一条横向线，体现在两个相互矛盾的观点上。有些人辩称，可以在不损害经济增长的情况下实现绿色增长。其他人则认为，如果商品的大量消费继续促进经济增长，就不可能尊重可持续性。我们的研究旨在分析可持续技术转让和可持续创新在绿色增长中的作用，并确定绿色增长对经济增长的影响。我们使用经合组织提供的国家级汇总数据，包括1990年至2013年之间32个国家的国民账户，人口和环境统计数据（包括专利），对应于591个观测值的不平衡面板。我们根据动态面板方法估算经济计量模型，以捕获随时间推移而存在的差异。结果表明，可持续技术转让和可持续创新可促进绿色增长，进而对经济增长产生积极影响。我们为绿色增长与经济增长的辩论提供了新的见解，并提供了一些政治和管理方面的含义。
