Does government information transparency contribute to pollution abatement? Evidence from 264 Chinese cities

Liying Song et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of government information transparency on sulfur dioxide emissions in 264 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2012. The results show that a city's government information transparency is negatively related to its local sulfur dioxide emissions, and positively related to its neighboring cities' emissions. The study concludes that government information transparency benefits pollution abatement overall.

Assessment of ecological vulnerability of resource-based cities based on entropy-set pair analysis

Gang He et al.

Summary: By establishing a comprehensive evaluation model based on entropy-set pair analysis, it is possible to effectively assess and monitor the ecological vulnerability of resource-based cities. The study results indicate that the evaluation indexes of resource, economy, society, and ecological environment fluctuated but showed gradual improvement from 2010 to 2016, leading to a change in the ecological vulnerability level of the case city from IV to II with fluctuations.

Urban carbon emission intensity under emission trading system in a developing economy: evidence from 273 Chinese cities

Kai Tang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of China's pilot carbon trading markets on cities' carbon intensity, finding that the emission trading system significantly decreased carbon intensity in pilot cities and the reduction effect increased over time. The system achieved this through increasing the proportion of tertiary industry output value in GDP and decreasing energy intensity.

Nexus between green finance and climate change mitigation in N-11 and BRICS countries: empirical estimation through difference in differences (DID) approach

Muhammad Atif Nawaz et al.

Summary: The study found that in N-11 countries, factors such as renewable energy consumption, foreign direct investment, CO2 emissions, Human Development Index (HDI), and investment in the energy sector by the private sector have significant impacts on promoting green financing and climate change mitigation. Matching analysis showed mixed results for both treated and untreated countries, with some experiencing improvements while others saw decreases in green financing and climate change mitigation. Overall, the difference in differences (DID) method showed no significant difference among the countries.

High-speed rail and CO2 emissions in urban China: A spatial difference-in-differences approach

Ruining Jia et al.

Summary: The study found that the increase in high-speed rail service intensity significantly reduces urban CO2 emissions and inhibits CO2 emissions in neighboring cities with a spatial attenuation boundary of 1000 km. However, higher levels of HSR service intensity in large cities and resource-based cities are not conducive to reducing CO2 emissions in neighboring cities.

Jinning Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that regional haze pollution in China has significant spatial correlation, with local government competition having a positive impact on haze pollution. The distortion of the local factor market not only directly leads to an increase in haze pollution, but also further intensifies it, with an intermediary role of about 7.04%.

Resource curse, environmental regulation and transformation of coal-mining cities in China

Xiangyan Qian et al.

Summary: The study finds that there is a resource curse effect in China's coal-mining cities throughout the entire sample period, but in the second sub-sample period, the resource curse effect is no longer significant, especially in cities with higher economic development levels. Environmental regulations can weaken the transmission of resource dependence by promoting human capital and technological innovation, with technological innovation being the most significant factor. This indicates that environmental regulation can potentially help turn the curse into a blessing for coal-mining cities and facilitate their green sustainable development.
