This study examines the joint effect of China's Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) and Energy Consumption Permit Trading Scheme (ECPTS) on emission reduction using city-level data from 2008-2020. Employing a difference-in-difference approach wit…

Zhonghua Cheng, Yanhao Yang, Xueqin Yan

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of China's carbon emissions trading scheme on corporate green total factor productivity (GTFP), examining whether the policy introduction contributes to GTFP improvement.

Shiqun Ma, Chao Feng, Haiying Liu

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of China's carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) on biodiversity, evaluating policy spillover effects and suggesting synergies between climate action and ecosystem conservation.

Jing Tian, Xiao Liu, Xu Yang +1

This study examines the effect of China's Sci-Tech Finance Pilot Policy (STFP) on pollution-carbon reduction synergy and green growth using panel data from 284 prefecture-level cities (2008-2023) and a multi-period difference-in-differences…
