Impact of New Quality Productivity on Carbon Emissions in Sporting Goods Manufacturing Industry:Based on Panel Data of 30 Provinces(Autonomous Regions and Municipalities)in China
Taking the panel data of 30 provinces(including autonomous regions and municipalities)in China from 2010 to 2021 as samples,this paper developed a comprehensive evaluation index system to calculate the new quality productivity and carbon emissions of the sporting goods manufacturing industry across each province;furthermore,it empirically examined the impact,mechanism,and spatial effect of new quality productivity on carbon emissions within this sector.The study shows that:(1)The new quality productivity has a significant effect on carbon emission reduction within the sporting goods manufacturing sector,and the conclusion passes a series of robustness tests;(2)The mechanism analysis shows that the new quality productivity can reduce the carbon emission of sporting goods manufacturing industry by promoting the development of green credit and facilitating the agglomeration of digital talents;(3)The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the inhibitory effect of new quality productivity on carbon emissions in the sporting goods manufacturing industry exhibited regional variability;specifically,the impact of new quality productivity on carbon emission reduction was more significant in the eastern provinces.(4)The analysis of spatial spillover effects indicates that the advancement of new quality productivity within the province does not exert a significant inhibitory effect on carbon emissions in the sports manufacturing industry of adjacent provinces.Suggestions:Vigorously develop the green technological advantages associated with new quality productivity,and achieve innovation in green technology within the sports sector;Guided by new quality productivity,fully leverage the role of green credit to optimize resource allocation;Capitalize on the advantage of a concentrated pool of digital talent to innovate and cultivate versatile sports professionals;Implement a differentiated development strategy to promote coordinated regional growth in the sporting goods manufacturing industry.
