Can the Outline of the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan Promote the Construction of Ecological Civilization in the Yangtze River Basin
This paper uses panel data from 30 provinces and cities in China from 2003 to 2019 to construct a comprehensive indicator system for ecological civilization construction from six dimensions.Then,11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt are selected as experimental groups,and the generalized synthetic control method(GSCM)and double difference method are used to consider the policy impact of the promulgation of the Development Planning Outline of the Yangtze River Economic Belt on the construction of regional ecological civilization,Further the mediation effect model is used to empirically test its mechanism of action.The results indicate that the plan has a significant promoting effect on the ecological civilization construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt,and to be specific,the effect is most,less and least significant respectively on eastern,western and central Yangtze River Basin.Moreover,the promoting effect on the ecological civilization construction of Shanghai,Jiangsu,Yunnan,Chongqing,Jiangxi,and Zhejiang is more obvious.The mediating effect of environmental regulation,new urbanization,and employment structure optimization in promoting regional ecological civilization construction is more significant than that of technological innovation,industrial structure upgrading,opening-up,and regional economic growth.
