Revealing the linkage between interregional coordination and a green economy is crucial to economic resilience high-quality development capabilities. Although local governments in China are increasingly emphasizing environmental policy coordination, academics have not fully investigated whether it can advance development. This research aims quantify from perspectives of actor tool further investigates its effects, particularly when considering mediating role natural resource endowment. The analysis based on policies related data issued by 284 cities 2003 2022. results indicate that (1) contributes development, which complementary indispensable. (2) It exhibits heterogeneity characteristics stronger promoting effect resource-rich areas, as well spillover gradually weaken with increasing distance. (3) Interregional promotes reducing abundance dependence; however, both mainly play lowering abundance. study offers useful insights for policymakers seeking maximize benefits while utilizing limited resources protecting environment.

How does energy supply affect regional entrepreneurship? Evidence from the west-to-east natural gas transmission project in china

Applied Economics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 20

Published: March 2, 2025

A steady flow of energy is a must for enterprises to keep their production lines humming along efficiently. This paper employs quasi-natural experiment based on the phased construction West-to-East Natural Gas Transmission Project (WENGT), and utilizes staggered differences-in-differences (DID) method with panel data from Chinese cities between 2000 2022 assess influence supply regional entrepreneurship. The results indicate that significantly enhances entrepreneurship WENGT route, strengthening security promoting labour aggregation as important mechanisms driving this effect. However, strict environmental regulations high costs may weaken positive impact Finally, generates 'siphon effect' in neighbouring cities. provides empirical evidence theoretical support local governments attract new startups through infrastructure, offering policy implications sustainable economic development resource equity.

China's manufacturing firms' willingness to pay for carbon abatement: A cost perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 32(8), P. 5477 - 5486

Published: April 13, 2023

Abstract The existing studies of emissions reduction focus mainly on the technical potential and abatement costs while overlooking firms' willingness to pay (WTP) for reduction. Yet WTP is a key parameter in firm's decision carry out maximizing its profits. This paper estimates China's manufacturing industry (CMI) maximum carbon abatement—defined as cumulative product between marginal cost corresponding potential—using large sample from data envelopment analysis model. results show that (a) significantly constrained by an isocost curve at RMB 8.65 million representative CMI firm; (b) varies among sub‐sectors; (c) profitability production scales both positively affect all sub‐sectors, innovation investment has negative effect. suggest technology firms should be below firm. government formulate subsidies or tax relief policies help reduce their costs. Further, division tasks different one hand, ongoing other, clearly distinguished policy bias promote transformation industrial structure.

Trick or treat? Quasi-experimental evidence from electricity spot market policy in China

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 25

Published: April 5, 2024

The electricity system faces load-matching pressure due to imbalances during peak times or extreme weather, making it costly phase out coal-fired and reduce carbon emissions. spot market pilot (ESMP) policy provides reserve capacities for grids, but its effectiveness on green economic development is still unknown. Therefore, using panel data from 286 cities in China 2006 2019, this study analyzes the impact of ESMP performance. results indicate a significantly positive effect In addition, could help 6.3% capacity, average, equipment utilization hours by 0.9%, increase renewable 4% regions. These findings provide new insights into development.
