Abstract

Abstract

The implementation of low-carbon city pilot policy is a concrete practice of the low-carbon strategy; analysis of its effects helps to provide sufficient empirical evidence for identifying the effects of the low-carbon strategy. Based on the data of 284 cities at prefecture-level and above from 2005 to 2019, this paper regards the low-carbon city pilot policy as quasi-natural experiments, and uses the difference-in-difference method to evaluate the impact of low-carbon strategy on the coordination of economic development and ecological environment. The results show that low-carbon strategy can significantly improve the coordination between economic development and ecological environment through promoting green technology innovation, optimizing industrial structure and improving energy efficiency. The grouping regression results show that the effects of the low-carbon city pilot policy have obvious heterogeneity in cities with different locations, resource endowments and population sizes. The moderating effect analyses show that the promotion of human capital can strengthen the effects of the low-carbon city pilot policy, reflecting that the synergy of low-carbon strategy and human capital has effective benefits both in economy and ecology. Therefore, we should focus on the building of low-carbon cities and comprehensively implement the low-carbon strategy, fully apply low-carbon policy tools guided by the coordination of economic development and ecological environment, and accurately assist in achieving low-carbon goals according to regional differences.
