Green Credit and Carbon Emissions from Construction:Theoretical Logic and Chinese Experience
Based on the national provincial panel data from 2012 to 2021,the impact and mechanism of green credit on the carbon emission of the construction industry were investigated.The results show that green credit can reduce carbon emissions from the construction industry,and this conclusion holds true through robustness tests.The green credit has the best effect on reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry in the eastern region,fol-lowed by the central region,and has no noticeable effect in the western region.Green credit can reduce the carbon emission of China's construction industry by optimizing the allocation of financial resources,promoting technological progress and strengthening environmental regulations.The study provides a theoretical basis and policy enlightenment for China's green credit to reduce the carbon emissions of the construction industry.
