Published: Jan. 13, 2025

New quality productivity (NQP) has the possibility to enhance carbon emission performance which will fortify groundwork for long-term economic expansion even further. The research examines panel data of 30 provinces spanning years 2012 2022 an evaluation framework NQP and at provincial level. Employing fixed effect models, mediation analysis, spatial econometrics, study explores on performance, its mediating mechanisms, spillover effects. findings indicate that (1) significantly lowers emissions every unit GDP enhances result holds up when instrumental variable methods are used. (2) had a significant contribution improving via advancements in green innovation. (3) does more than directly regional performance; contrast, it additionally positively influences level adjacent regions by effect. (4) impact is particularly pronounced eastern innovative regions. On this basis, we should vigorously develop NQP, strengthen cross-regional policy coordination, promote sustainable development.

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 2091 - 2091

Published: Feb. 28, 2025

The low-carbon transformation of an energy consumption structure (ECS) is related to the sustainable development society. New quality productivity (NQP) important means promote green ECS. This paper examines spatiotemporal evolution NQP and ECS, utilizing panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (2012–2020) through kernel density estimation spatial analysis methods. impact on ECS its spillover effects are empirically analyzed using a two-way fixed-effects model Durbin model. study reveals that in China generally positively correlated with although significant regional disparities exist. A positive correlation exists between significantly promotes local but exerts negative effect neighboring regions. Further exhibits “inverted U-shaped” Spatial attenuation indicates diminish geographical distance, maximum boundary 600 km. found currently facing imbalances.

The Impact and Mechanism of New-Type Urbanization on New Quality Productive Forces: Empirical Evidence from China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 353 - 353

Published: Jan. 6, 2025

The development of new-type urbanization (NTU) represents a crucial strategic approach to fostering new drivers economic growth. Despite its importance, limited research has explored the effects and underlying mechanisms through which NTU influences quality productive forces (NQPFs), key indicators emerging dynamism. Addressing this gap, present study analyzes panel data from 283 Chinese cities spanning 2009 2022, applying difference-in-differences (DID) model empirically evaluate impact New-Type Urbanization Pilot Policy (NTUPP) on NQPFs. findings reveal that NTUPP significant positive effect NQPFs, conclusion is supported by series robustness endogeneity checks. Specifically, NTUPP’s implementation corresponds an average increase 1.1% in policy facilitates NQPF growth primarily such as talent agglomeration optimal resource allocation. Notably, particularly effective boosting NQPFs at lower initial levels. Since inherently reflect green productivity, NTU’s emphasis green, low-carbon, civilizational features markedly amplifies policy’s while focus smart aspects appears mitigate effect. These contribute valuable empirical insights context, highlighting potential accelerate drivers.

Dynamic Evolution and Trend Forecasting of New Quality Productive Forces Development Levels in Chinese Urban Agglomerations

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 1559 - 1559

Published: Feb. 13, 2025

New quality productive forces serve as a catalyst for high-quality development and act critical driver of Chinese-style modernization. This study evaluated the degree new force in China’s five major urban agglomerations between 2013 2022 using entropy approach. Additionally, it utilized kernel density estimation, Dagum Gini coefficient, Markov chain analysis to explore spatial temporal dynamics these their evolutionary trends. The findings revealed following: (1) Overall, have exhibited steady upward trend, although overall level remains relatively low. Among regions, Pearl River Delta ranks highest, followed by Yangtze Delta, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Chengdu–Chongqing, Urban Cluster Middle Reaches River. Nevertheless, significant potential improvement persists. (2) traditional probability transfer matrix suggests that are stable, with evidence “club convergence”. Meanwhile, indicates probabilities influenced neighborhood contexts.

The Impact of New-Quality Productivity on Environmental Pollution: Empirical Evidence from China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(7), P. 3230 - 3230

Published: April 4, 2025

Based on panel data from 30 Chinese provinces 2012 to 2022, this study empirically examines the impact of new-quality productivity environmental pollution and explores underlying mechanisms. A multidimensional index system is constructed measure productivity, incorporating new laborers, labor materials, objects, technologies, production organizations, elements. The results indicate that development significantly reduces levels, a conclusion remains robust after series robustness endogeneity tests. Mechanism analysis reveals green finance plays partial mediating role in pollution-reducing effect with accounting for 11.7%. Regional heterogeneity shows improvement significant eastern northeastern regions but relatively weaker central western regions. these findings, proposes three-pronged policy framework integrates “factor upgrading, mechanism innovation, region-specific adaptation”, emphasizing enhancement finance, regionally differentiated strategies better mitigate pollution. This provides empirical evidence governance effects offers theoretical insights developing countries seeking resolve “growth-pollution” paradox optimize regional transition pathways.
