Abstract: The SBM-based Global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) method was used to calculate China's 30 provincial-level green industry innovation efficiency from 2005 to 2015， and the panel threshold model was built to evaluate the non-linear relationship between environmental regulation and green innovation efficiency. The results showed that on the whole China's green innovation efficiency is low， taking on the “West-East-Middle” descending order pattern. The threshold regression showed that there exists a threshold effect of environmental regulation on green innovation efficiency if level of economic development， R&D investment and ownership structure are taken as the threshold variables. Besides， the industrial structure does not have a significant negative impact on green innovation efficiency and opening up helps improve green innovation efficiency while government intervention would curb green innovation efficiency.

Key words: Global Malmquist-Luenberger(GML), green innovation efficiency, threshold effect, environmental regulation
