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.

Sustainable Evolution of China’s Provincial New Quality Productivity Based on Three Dimensions of Multi-Period Development and Combination Weights

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(24), P. 11259 - 11259

Published: Dec. 22, 2024

In this study, we aim to construct an evaluation system accurately measure the development status and trends of China’s new quality productivity, which is pivotal for sustainable Chinese economy. light current lack a standardized index precise measurement methods, have established comprising three dimensions—scientific technological innovation, industrial upgrading, factor transformation—in alignment with essence traits productivity. By combination entropy method multi-period weights, assess level productivity across 31 provinces from 2013 2022. The findings reveal following: (1) Substantial regional disproportions exist among in advancement Shanghai Beijing demonstrating notable first-mover advantage. (2) While levels most are generally modest, overall positive trajectory observed. Drawing upon these outcomes, set targeted strategies put forward, such as leading scientific promoting realizing transformation elements. This article can enhance our understanding spatiotemporal pattern offering novel theoretical framework practical approach fostering tailored unique circumstances. Consequently, it may facilitate promotion economic sustainability.
