Abstract

This study investigates the impact of low-carbon constraints on the location choices of heterogeneous firms. Based on data from 282 prefecture-level cities in China and 293,800 newly estabilished firms, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of urban low-carbon constraints on firms' location choices. Using a two-way fixed effect model and instrumental variables, a low-carbon location choice effect was found, indicating that the stronger the intensity of a city’s low-carbon constraints, the more willing high-productivity firms are to enter. Urban low-carbon constraints can prompt enterprises to engage in technological innovation, attracting high-productivity enterprises while inhibiting the entry of low-productivity enterprises. Additionally, low-carbon constraints enhance the market potential of cities and reduce labor costs, attracting various types of enterprises. A heterogeneity analysis reveals that urban low-carbon constraints are more attractive to firms in small and super cities in terms of city size, regular prefecture-level cities in terms of hierarchy, and energy- and technology-intensive businesses in terms of industry. These findings provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for the formulation of urban low-carbon constraint policies.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
