This paper employs a quasi-natural experiment to investigate the effect of the Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zones (GFPZ) policy on green growth in 288 prefecture-level cities in China over the period 2010–2021. The findings indicate that the GFPZ policy significantly promotes urban green growth, measured by green total factor productivity, with technical change as the primary driver. The findings survive Difference-in-Difference (DID), Propensity Score Matching-DID (PSM-DID), Synthetic DID (SDID), and other robustness checks. Mechanism analyses show that the GFPZ policy promotes urban green growth by advancing green financial instruments, constructing green infrastructure, increasing public transport accessibility, and optimizing the energy structure. Heterogeneity analyses show that the policy's effect on green growth is more pronounced in cities with lower fiscal pressure, greater energy endowment, and lower pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. The spillover effect analysis indicates that green growth extends to cities located within approximately 250 km from the GFPZs.

Thus, the objective of this research was to model the green premium in the green transition process of battery electric vehicle (BEV) and to guide the formulation of incentive policies to promote industry development. We use an improved Bass diffusion model and genetic algorithms to predict the market penetration rate of BEVs under different green premium scenarios, and we provide policy recommendations based on data from China's electric vehicle market. Our findings show that the market penetration rate of BEVs is highly sensitive to the green premium. Incentive policy subsidies and technological innovation are the main factors affecting the green premium of BEVs. Dual-credit policies and license plate restrictions increase the market penetration rate of BEVs by reducing their production and usage costs. Technological innovations, such as advancements in battery technology and improvements in intelligence levels, fundamentally reduce production costs and increase product premiums, which are key to the market entry and sustainable development of BEVs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 114610"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrate that GFR significantly promotes low-carbon ET, but its effectiveness is hindered by CPU. Regional disparities are evident, with stronger adverse effects in cities characterized by lower ES, traditional industrial structures, and poorer environmental quality. Additionally, credit constraints and frequent green technology updates amplify the adverse effects of CPU on GFR's effectiveness. While ET provides notable short-term improvements in ES, these benefits diminish over time due to diminishing marginal returns and technological saturation. This study provides a novel perspective on GFR under uncertainty and underscores the necessity of stable climate policies and region-specific strategies to fully leverage the potential of GFR in advancing energy sustainability and mitigating policy-induced uncertainties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 114607"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals quantile-specific and temporal disparities in the evolution of risk transmission across calm and crisis periods using monthly data from March 1996 to December 2023. Significant events like the Iraq War, the worldwide financial crisis, the COVID-19 epidemic, and the Russia-Ukraine war correspond with notable peaks in overall connection. The results show that oil price volatility and geopolitical risks are primary risk transmitters, mainly affecting energy-related uncertainty, which is always the biggest recipient of spillovers.
