Abstract：Based on the panel data of resource-based cities in China from 2000 to 2017, this paper empirically analyzed the impact of resource dependence on green technology innovation in resource-based cities and its mechanism by using a variety of econometric analysis methods, such as fixed effect model, intermediary effect model, regulatory effect model and instrumental variable method. The result showed that resource dependence significantly inhibited the green technology innovation of resource-based cities, which was still valid after a series of robustness tests and control of endogenous problems. Mechanism analysis showed that there was a partial intermediary effect with the level of government integrity as the intermediary variable. Heterogeneity analysis showed that there were significant regional differences in the indirect inhibition of green technology innovation by reducing the level of government integrity. The crowding out effect of resource dependence was only significant in highly corrupt cities, highly resource dependent cities, small and medium-sized cities and traditional mining cities. The intermediary mechanism of government integrity has played a more significant role in expanding resource-based cities. However, the industrial structure of renewable resource-based cities was diversified, and resource dependence was positively affecting green technology innovation. While the government size was too large to reduce the level of government integrity, it played a negative role in regulating the impact of resource dependence on green technology innovation.
