Research on the Mechanism of Regional Industrial Transformation and Upgrading under the Constraints of Dual Carborn Goals
This article takes low-carbon city pilot projects as exogenous shocks and uses panel data from 282 prefec-ture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2020 to test the impact of pilot policies on industrial transformation and upgrading u-sing the DID model.Research has shown that low-carbon city pilot projects have significantly promoted industrial transfor-mation and pilot area upgrades.Mechanism analysis found that the low-carbon city pilot program mainly promotes local in-dustrial transformation and upgrading through the government's top-down resource reallocation mechanism and the bottom-up self-selection mechanism of the effective market.In addition,low-carbon city pilot policies have obvious regional heter-ogeneity and tool heterogeneity.The policy has a more significant effect on industrial transformation and upgrading in the eastern regions,and command control and market incentive policy tools significantly promote regional industrial transforma-tion and upgrading.The above conclusion provides a practical basis for China to achieve the"dual carbon"goal while also considering industrial transformation and up-grading.
