The carbon trading system affects all aspects of the economy and society profoundly. Agriculture, as a high-carbon-emitting industry, has been hard-hit. China’s agricultural activities will emit about 820 million tons dioxide equivalents, accounting for 7% country’s total emissions. In order to develop green low-carbon control greenhouse gas emissions, China officially launched pilot emissions policy in 2013. effects mechanism this on are still unclear. Herein, paper uses provincial panel data from 2000 2019 measure factor productivity regarding implementation 2013 quasi-natural experiment, PSM-DID robustness analysis evaluate effect emission rights areas. propensity score method is type statistical that nonexperimental or observational intervention-effect analysis, which reduces bias allows more reasonable comparisons between treatment groups. “Difference difference” an approach policy-effect evaluation based counterfactual framework assess change observed factors both cases occurrence nonoccurrence. combination PSM DID using match each group sample specific sample, can solve problem self-selection accurately. This study found significantly improved productivity. Further impact tests show improve through environmental protection policies technological innovation. Finally, puts forward corresponding countermeasures suggestions research results.
