    213-229页
    查看更多>>摘要:China has recently implemented a dual-carbon strategy to combat climate change and other environmental is-sues and is committed to modernizing it sustainably.This paper supports these goals and explores how the digital economy and green finance intersect and impact carbon emissions.Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces over the period 2011-2021,this paper finds that the digital economy and green finance can to-gether reduce carbon emissions,and conducts several robustness tests supporting this conclusion.A heteroge-neity analysis shows that these synergistic effects are more important in regions with low levels of social con-sumption Meanwhile,in the spatial dimension,the synergistic effect of the local digital economy and green fi-nance adversely impacts the level of carbon emissions in surrounding areas.The findings of this paper provide insights for policymakers in guiding capital flow and implementing carbon-reduction policies while fostering the growth of China's digital economy and environmental sustainability.

    查看更多>>摘要:This paper investigates the effect and transmission mechanism of air pollution on urbanization based on data from China's 107 cities during 2005-2018.In order to identify the impact of air pollution on China's urban-ization,we utilized night light data to represent the level of urbanization and used temperature inversion as an instrumental variable to mitigate endogeneity within the two-stage least squares framework.The results suggest that air pollution significantly slowed China's urbanization process with economic growth acting as the transmission mechanism.The heterogeneity analyses revealed that air pollution had a greater negative im-pact on urbanization in northern regions than that in southern regions,and a greater negative impact in resource-oriented cities than that in non-resource-based cities.We also find that air pollution was to the detri-ment of urbanization in larger cities,which have more than 3 million residents,while it did not have a signifi-cant impact on Type II large cities,which have fewer than 3 million residents.

    查看更多>>摘要:Given the rapid development of China's new urbanization,cities with different locations and varying func-tional positioning,resource endowments,and development stages have insufficient scientific and applicable technical tools for implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).City managers and policymakers must urgently establish SDG benchmarks to diagnose city development.Moreover,success-ful experiences from similar cities regarding sustainable development and self-improvement must be learned from to promote diversified,sustainable development across the country.Furthermore,emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence,the Internet of Things,big data and 5G are widely used in smart cities.There-fore,there is a growing need for"knowledge-based,personalized and intelligent"technologies to support monitoring,evaluation,and decision-making processes facilitating sustainable development in cities.This pa-per uses standardization as the theoretical support and technical basis.This approach can help clarify the sus-tainable development processes in China and clarify the evaluation results of and provide data on horizontal city comparisons,which can be used to develop evaluation technology for sustainable development in cities and construct a standardized system.The results provide a standard framework for intelligent assessment and decision-making regarding cities'sustainable development capabilities in China.Evaluating major interna-tional standardization institutions reveals that the practices of Chinese national standards should be fully ab-sorbed and integrated to guide the evaluation of smart,resilient,and low-carbon cities.To this end,an indica-tor library of city sustainable development is proposed to provide standard evaluation technology methods.Fi-nally,analyzing the response relationship of the indicator library to SDGs reveals the need for a standardized knowledge map of sustainable development assessment techniques and methods from the perspective of inte-grated management for sustainable development in cities.
