What urban spatial structure is more conducive to reducing carbon emissions? A conditional effect of population size

Kaifang Shi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of urban spatial structure (US) on carbon emissions in China and finds that it provides scientific references for government departments and decision-makers to optimize and realize their carbon reduction goal. The research reveals that the effect of US on carbon emissions is regulated by population size, with monocentric US being more conducive to reducing carbon emissions for smaller cities and polycentric US performing better for larger cities. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of the relative magnitudes of transportation, residents' lives, and industrial production and manufacturing in determining the conditional effect of population size on the US-carbon emissions relationship.

Impacts and mechanisms of heterogeneous environmental regulations on carbon emissions: An empirical research based on DID method

Heping Huang et al.

Summary: This essay discusses the effect of different environmental regulations on carbon emissions reduction in China's prefecture-level cities from 2003 to 2017. The low-carbon pilot (LCP) and carbon emission trading (CET) policies were examined, and it was found that both policies significantly reduced carbon emissions, with the CET having a greater effect. The LCP performed better in the central and western regions, while the CET worked better in the eastern region. The LCP reduced carbon emissions mainly through increased foreign direct investment, while green technology innovation had a negative mediating effect on the impact of the CET.

Does enterprise digital transformation contribute to the carbon emission reduction? Micro-level evidence from China

Yuping Shang et al.

Summary: Energy saving, emission reduction, and low carbon development are crucial for sustainable development globally and for China's dual carbon target. The digital transformation of enterprises plays a significant role in reducing carbon emissions by improving technological innovation, internal control, and environmental information disclosure. Based on a text analysis of annual reports from Shanghai and Shenzhen listed companies during 2012-2020, the study measures the level of enterprise digital transformation and empirically investigates its impact on carbon emission intensity. The findings show that enterprise digital transformation effectively reduces carbon emissions, and this effect remains robust even after conducting various tests. The study also analyzes the heterogeneity and concludes that the impact of digital transformation is stronger in regions with strong intellectual property protection and capital-intensive enterprises. However, it does not differ based on enterprise types, environmental regulation intensity, and information infrastructure construction. This paper discusses the path choices for enterprises to reduce carbon emissions, offering insights for businesses to seize opportunities in the new wave of technological and green economic transition.

Effects of of China's pilot low-carbon city policy on carbon emission reduction: A quasi-natural experiment based on satellite data

Weidong Huo et al.

Summary: Economic development has led to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, posing a common challenge for all nations. Cities, as drivers of national economic development, have a crucial role in low-carbon development and climate change mitigation. China has actively explored and implemented pilot policies for low-carbon cities to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. Findings from this study show that pilot cities achieved an annual carbon emission reduction of approximately 2.72%, resulting in a gross domestic product loss of around 1.19 trillion yuan from 2013 to 2017. These reductions were achieved through adjustments in industrial structure, promotion of technological innovation, and investment in low-carbon technologies.

Green technology technology innovations, urban innovation environment and CO2 emission reduction in China: Fresh evidence from a partially linear functional-coefficient panel model

Boqiang Lin et al.

Summary: Green technology innovations play an important role in balancing economic growth and environmental governance. However, there is limited empirical research on the relationship between green technology innovations and CO2 emissions, particularly in developing countries like China. This study examines panel data from 264 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2017, and finds that the impact of green technology innovations on CO2 emissions varies across different types of cities. It also shows that green technology innovations can contribute to CO2 emission reduction after 2010, indirectly through industrial structure upgrading. The study further suggests that the marginal effect of green technologies on CO2 emissions is influenced by the urban innovation environment and the human capital level of a city.

Market incentives, carbon quota allocation and carbon emission reduction: Evidence from China's carbon trading pilot policy

Beibei Shi et al.

Summary: China has established a carbon trading market to reduce carbon emissions by allocating carbon quotas among different enterprises and regions. This study analyzed the effectiveness of China's carbon trading pilot policy and found that it not only reduced regional carbon emissions but also inhibited per capita carbon dioxide emissions with long-term effects. The reduction effect varied across regions and was more significant in areas with higher carbon emission density and stronger legal supervision. The allocation of carbon quotas and the carbon trading price were key factors influencing carbon emission reduction.

Global value chains and carbon emission reduction in developing countries: Does industrial upgrading matter?

Shuhong Wang et al.

Summary: Industrial upgrading and international collaboration have significant impact on global climate change. This study investigates the potential role of industrial upgrading in the effect of participating in global value chains (GVCs) on carbon emissions. The results show that industrial structure transformation and upgrading when participating in GVCs can help mitigate pollution emissions expansion in developing countries like Russia and Brazil, but the adjustment effect is relatively weak. China and India face the dilemma of low-end locking in GVCs, intensifying the pressure on reducing carbon emissions domestically.
