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.

Summary: Recent management research emphasizes the importance of considering omitted variables as a primary source of endogeneity bias in empirical estimation. Methodological scholarship advocates for the use of two-stage instrumental variable modeling, but researchers approach this recommendation with caution due to associated challenges. Studies utilizing the impact threshold of a confounding variable (ITCV) technique suggest that most causal inference is unlikely to be biased by omitted variables, with only the most pervasive ones impacting causal inference substantively.
