This study investigates the relationship between financial technology (fintech) and environmental efficiency across G20 countries, emphasizing moderating effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) from 2010 to 2022. Employing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) through both Slack-Based Measure (SBM) Epsilon-Based (EBM), alongside Tobit regression Generalized Method Moments (GMM) for analytical rigor, research reveals that fintech exerts a positive influence on within these countries. Furthermore, it demonstrates FDI contributes enhancing efficiency. However, when is combined with investments, yields negative impact. detrimental stems FDI's emphasis short-term gains, rapid expansion, globally oriented supply chain favors cost at expense sustainability. The highlights necessity investments in comply standards offers policy recommendations improve It urges policymakers promote environmentally sustainable practices sector aid achieving development goals.

Spatial–Temporal and Decoupling Effect of Agricultural Carbon Pollution Synergy in Ecologically Fragile Areas

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(6), С. 592 - 592

Опубликована: Март 11, 2025

As an important industry in ecologically fragile areas, the synergy of agricultural pollution control and carbon reduction is vital for balanced development industries regional synergy. This paper aims to explore synergistic result areas so as clarify weak links solve areas. Leveraging 2006–2021 municipal data this calculates coupling coordination degree (CCD) non-point source emission areas; decoupling relationship between emissions, pollutants, gross output based on Tapio index; quantitatively depicts From 2006 2021, emissions depicted a fluctuating increasing trend. Agricultural “inverted U-shaped” growth The trends pollutants depict that although are homologous, there heterogeneity trend change emissions. results show upward increased from 0.32 0.89, indicating level coordinated significantly. Taking into account effect, state economic has changed negative strong decoupling, mainly expansion, decoupling; addition, capacity needs be further optimized. Based research results, some room improvement regions should strengthen cooperation.

The impact of carbon information disclosure on corporate green technology innovation in the context of “dual carbon”—— Based on data from heavily polluting industries

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(3), С. e0319997 - e0319997

Опубликована: Март 13, 2025

In the current global response to climate change, “dual carbon” goal has become a common development for all countries. context of carbon”, China’s heavily polluting enterprises, as main governance body, have necessary path green transformation. Green technology innovation is important industries achieve Starting from perspective environmental regulation based on information disclosure, this article mainly explores mechanism carbon disclosure promoting in enterprises. This takes enterprises China 2017 2021 samples and innovatively constructs indicator system background. Then, empirical tests examine relationship between level, innovation, financing constraints. Research shown that quality improves corporate innovation; The can promote by alleviating research results theoretical value significance incentivizing reduce emissions support dual goals.

The impact of intellectual property demonstration policies on carbon emission efficiency

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Июль 3, 2024

Abstract Confronted with the concurrent challenges of economic advancement and environmental management, this study explores whether implementing Intellectual Property Demonstration Policies (IPDP) can be a covert force in enhancing carbon emission efficiency. Utilizing panel data from 280 prefecture-level cities China over period 2007–2019, we employ quasi-natural experimental design, incorporating multiple-period difference-in-differences models, mediation effect spatial Durbin models to assess impacts IPDP on efficiency, its mechanisms action, spillover effects. The regression results multi-period model reveal statistically significant enhancement efficiency due IPDP, an impact coefficient 0.044. Through heterogeneity tests, it is observed that influence varies based regional characteristics, levels, extent marketization. demonstrates enhances by fostering green technological innovation facilitating transformation industrial structures. Furthermore, illustrates positively influences neighboring regions, indicating favorable Notably, indirect coefficients geographical distance matrix, economic-geographical nested matrix are calculated as 0.673, 0.250, 0.386, respectively. These findings offer compelling theoretical empirical support for strengthening intellectual property framework optimize impact.
