摘要

本文利用2010 - 2019年中国248个地级市的面板数据，探讨了绿色金融改革创新试验区的环境影响。研究结果表明，实施这些区域可以显著减少工业烟尘、二氧化硫和废水的排放。进一步的分析表明，政策效力存在显著的区域差异。在中国东部和中部地区，废水和so2排放显著减少，但工业烟尘没有减少。另一方面，中国西部地区的so2和工业烟尘排放量显著下降，但废水减排效果不明显。研究结果表明，绿色金融政策的环境效应存在空间差异，为构建区域环境治理路径提供了实证依据。

Can green economy reduce environmental pollution? Evidence from the pilot zones for green finance reform and innovation

Using panel data from 248 prefecture-level Chinese cities between 2010 and 2019, this study explores the environmental impact of Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zones. Findings reveal that implementing these zones significantly reduces industrial soot, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and wastewater emissions. Further analysis reveals significant regional disparities in policy effectiveness. In eastern and central China, significant wastewater and SO₂ emission reductions are observed but not industrial soot reduction. Alternatively, western China shows significant declines in SO₂ and industrial soot emissions but not in wastewater reduction. These findings show that green finance policies exert spatially differentiated environmental effects, providing empirical evidence for regionally tailored environmental governance pathways.
