A Study on the Peer Effects of Urban Environmental Quality Upgrading Under the Carbon Trading Pilot Policy—Based on the Data of 108 Cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt Region
This paper uses the panel data of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt region from 2011 to 2020,and uses the spatial DID model to introduce the peer effect hypothesis into the spatial effect analysis of urban en-vironmental quality.The impact of the implementation of carbon trading pilot policies on urban environmental quality is calculated.The research results show that:①There is a significant positive peer effect between geo-graphically and economically adjacent cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt region,with the peer effect be-tween geographically adjacent cities being the most significant.②The implementation of carbon trading pilot pol-icies has a positive impact on the environmental quality of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt region,and will generate a negative spatial spillover effect.Based on this,this paper proposes policy recommendations such as strengthening regional cooperation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt region,implementing multiple measures to improve environmental quality,and improving the policy support system for carbon trading pilot projects.
