The impact of ‘greening’ finance reform on carbon emissions in border regions: evidence from China
论文摘要
Green finance reform, centered on market mechanisms and financial tools, stands as a pivotal approach to breaking through the high energy consumption and pollution prevalent in border regions. By manually matching the carbon emissions data of 285 cities administrative boundaries from 2009 to 2020 and utilizing the method of multi-period difference in difference, this paper delves into the impacts and mechanisms of the policy on carbon emissions in administrative border regions. The results indicate that the policy has effectively curbed carbon emissions in border regions. Mechanism analysis reveals that the green finance reform and innovation pilot zone policy promotes the transformation and upgrading of border regions by reshaping the financial investment and financing mechanism and strengthening the competition within industries, but fails to efficiently force the heavy border regions to achieve technological progress and optimize the energy structure. Heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that the emission reduction effect of policy is more pronounced in urban border regions, regions with higher levels of digital economy development, and regions with robust environmental protection enforcement.
