Does Biased Technological Progress Enhance Urban Carbon Productivity in China:A Study on Realization Path-ways Towards Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Growth
Green productivity is a new quality productive force,and the challenge of simultaneously fostering carbon neutrality and sustainable growth has become a focal point in academic discourse.This paper examines the significant kinetic energy effect of biased technological progress on urban carbon productivity in China,employing a perspective that considers the biased technological progress and its factor bias.The findings reveal that China's over-all biased technological progress index exceeds 1,indicating that such progress is globally prevalent.Within the capital-energy bias,a general preference for energy conservation is observed,while in the labor-energy bias,energy consumption is often favored.Biased technological progress exerts a palpable direct promotional impact on enhanc-ing urban carbon productivity,although the effects vary notably across different factors.By mitigating energy inten-sity,optimizing energy structure and refining industrial composition,biased technological progress can indirectly bol-ster urban carbon productivity,demonstrating a more pronounced effect on resource-rich cities and less developed re-gions overall.Additionally,the influence of biased technology on carbon productivity exhibits a negative spatial spillover effect,whereby the positive influence of biased technological progress on carbon productivity is dampened in economically advanced areas.This research conclusion offers empirical support and valuable insights into how bi-ased technological progress can be harnessed to attain the dual goals of carbon neutrality and sustainable growth.
