摘要
基于2013-2019年江西、浙江、广东、贵州、新疆等5省(自治区)的地级市数据,选择绿色金融改革创新试验区作为准自然实验,从碳排放角度探究绿色金融能否有效促进绿色低碳发展.研究发现:绿色金融政策对碳减排具有显著的促进作用;绿色金融政策主要通过扩大资本规模实现碳减排;碳减排效果在东部和中西部地区存在异质性.因此,现行绿色金融政策要在逐步扩大试点范围的同时因地施策,推动金融机构对企业的绿色服务,实现内部经济效益与外部环境效益协同的经济发展模式.
Abstract
Based on the data of prefecture-level cities in Jiangxi,Zhejiang,Guangdong,Guizhou and Xin-jiang from 2013 to 2019 as samples,and taking the green finance reform and innovation pilot zone as a qua-si-natural experiment,this paper explores whether green finance has effectively promoted green and low-carbon development from the perspective of carbon emissions.The study found that:firstly,green finance policy has a significant effect on carbon emission reduction;secondly,green finance policy mainly reduces through expanding capital scale;thirdly,the effect of carbon emission reduction is heterogeneous in the eastern and central and western regions.Therefore,the current green financial policies should gradually expand the scope of the pilot and at the same time,to promote the green service of financial institutions to enterprises,and realize the economic development model of internal economic benefits and external envi-ronmental benefits.
