Abstract

AbstractThis paper uses a double difference method to examine the impact of civilized city policies on urban green total factor productivity and its mechanism of action using Chinese city-level data from 2005 to 2021. The study finds that the civilized city policy promotes urban green development. The mechanism test finds that the civilized city policy achieves urban green development by strengthening government investment in environmental governance, optimizing industrial structure upgrading, and promoting urban innovation. The moderating mechanism finds that economic growth targets and environmental regulations influence the green growth effect of civilized city policy. Heterogeneity analysis found that the green growth effect of civilized cities has an asymmetric relationship in the east-central region, in areas with lower population density, and was more pronounced in cities with high human capital, high local government financial autonomy, and high levels of information technology.Keywords: Civilized cities policygreen total factor productivitygovernment actionquasi-natural experiments Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

文明城市建设能否促进绿色全要素生产率?基于中国文明城市试点的准自然实验

摘要本文采用双差分方法，利用2005 - 2021年中国城市层面数据，研究了文明城市政策对城市绿色全要素生产率的影响及其作用机制。研究发现，文明城市政策促进了城市的绿色发展。机制检验发现，文明城市政策通过加强政府环境治理投入、优化产业结构升级、促进城市创新实现城市绿色发展。调节机制发现经济增长目标和环境规制对文明城市政策的绿色增长效果有影响。异质性分析发现，文明城市的绿色增长效应在中东部地区、人口密度较低的地区呈不对称关系，在人力资本高、地方政府财政自主性高、信息技术水平高的城市中更为明显。关键词:文明城市政策绿色全要素生产率政府行为准自然实验披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突
