Exploring the Impact of Carbon Emission Trading Policies on Urban Ecological Well-being Based on a Multi Time Point Double Difference Model
The carbon emissions trading policy is an important path for China to achieve its goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality.This article uses panel data from 282 prefecture level and above cities in China from 2009 to 2020,constructs indicators of urban ecological well-being based on the Super SBM model,and uses a multi time point double difference model to empirically study the impact of carbon emissions trading policy implementation on urban ecological well-being.Finally,it can be concluded that carbon emissions trading policies can significantly improve the ecological well-being of cities.The robustness of the conclusion was tested using parallel trend tests,placebo tests,and replacement of the dependent variable.Finally,it is suggested that the government should increase the implementation scope of carbon emission trading policies and enterprises should improve low-carbon and green production methods.
