Environmental regulations of various types are pivotal in shaping resource allocation and subsequently influencing the efficiency carbon reduction initiatives. Taking China as an example, this study rigorously examines effectiveness command-and-control alongside market-based incentives mitigating emissions, focusing on mechanisms at play heterogeneous effects that emerge across diverse geographical market contexts. Employing a quasi-natural experimental framework with difference-in-differences (DID) model, empirical analysis leverages data samples spanning from 2006 to 2019 China. The findings indicate regulatory frameworks effectively reduce emissions coefficients −0.110 −0.160, market-incentive exhibit more substantial impact (−0.160). Significantly, energy consumption intensity emerges mediator establishes causal pathway linking reduced use decreased specifically within context regulations. Conversely, may inadvertently lead increased electricity coefficient 0.2044, suggesting potential trade-off regarding their long-term efficacy. Furthermore, research unveils negative mediating effect associated industrial structure upgrading, denoted by 6.2355 1.4874, indicative “masking effect” where pressures prompt superficial enhancements fail genuinely mitigate emissions. also underscore regional disparities influenced differing levels economic development degrees marketization. This enriches existing literature environmental regulation reduction, providing valuable theoretical insights practical implications for policymakers committed promoting sustainability practices achieving improved outcomes developing countries around world.
