Ecological-economic efficiency evaluation of green technology innovation in strategic emerging industries based on entropy weighted TOPSIS method

•The evaluation indicator system is constructed which includes positive factors and barrier factors.•The evaluation model is developed by the entropy weighted TOPSIS method.•Six industries are selected to be the research objects on which the empirical analysis is made.•The dynamic management strategies are implemented to promote ecological-economic efficiency.

In order to evaluate the impact of green technology innovation on ecological-economic efficiency of strategic emerging industries, the evaluation model is developed by the entropy weighted TOPSIS method. Through analyzing the impact factors of green technology innovation, the evaluation indicators system is constructed including positive factors and obstacles factors. The evaluation process is proposed, and six kinds of industry are selected to be the research objects on which the empirical analysis is made, the results show that the highest is the home audio-visual equipment manufacturers S6(E) whose weight is 0.7940 and the lowest is the electronic computer manufacturers S2(E) whose weight is 0.1938, finally, the countermeasures are proposed. The findings can avoid the subjectivity of human factors on the empowerment and solve the limitations of sample size and data distribution, and can help researchers precisely find the deficiency based on evaluation results.

Graphical abstractThrough reviewing the literature about green technology innovation and its impact factors, the evaluation indicator system is constructed which includes positive factors and barrier factors. The evaluation model is developed by the entropy weighted TOPSIS method, the entropy method is applied in the weighting process of evaluation indicator system, The final points of the evaluation objects are gotten by the TOPSIS method. 6 industries are selected to be the research objects on which the empirical analysis is made. Finally, the dynamic management strategies are implemented to promote the ecological-economic efficiency of green technology innovation according to the evaluation results.Download high-res image (100KB)Download full-size image
