Abstract: By constructing an economic growth model embedded with government quality and scientific and technological innovation factors, and using the balanced panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2017, the paper empirically tested the impact of government quality and scientific and technological innovation on the development of Green GDP. The results show that China's Green GDP has significant spatial agglomeration and regional differences. Under the influence of economic weight matrix, government efficiency, degree of marketization, degree of equity and degree of corruption in different regions have different influences on Green GDP. Among them, government efficiency and degree of equity can effectively promote the growth of Green GDP in regions with good economic development, but inhibit the growth of Green GDP in relatively backward regions. The degree of marketization promotes Green GDP in most regions. The level of corruption hinders the growth of Green GDP in the region. Scientific and technological innovation plays a positive role in promoting Green GDP in all regions. Therefore, to improve the development level of Green GDP, we not only need to improve the quality of local governments and provide practical policy guidance for Green GDP development, but also need to activate enterprises' ability of scientific and technological innovation to provide strong scientific and technological guarantee for Green GDP development.

Key words: green GDP, government quality, science and technology innovation, space durbin model
