Competition Pressure,Collaborative Inertia and the Improvement of Local Government's Low-carbon Governance Performance:The Role of Vertical Intervention
Horizontal intergovernmental collaboration plays a crucial role in improving the low-carbon governance performance of local governments and helping to achieve China's"Dual-Carbon"goals.However,the current low carbon governance of local governments is characterized by problems such as each government doing its own thing,singing a solo role and weakening cooperation.The reason is that competition pressure has intensified collaborative inertia.Based on the panel data of 225 cities in China from 2013 to 2021,this paper analyzes the generation logic of collaborative inertia in low-carbon governance of local governments from the perspective of competition pressure.The empirical conclusion shows that:(1)Competition pressure has significantly intensified the collaborative inertia of local governments in low-carbon governance;(2)Collaborative inertia will seriously hinder the improvement of local governments'low-carbon governance performance;(3)Collaborative inertia is the core mechanism that hinders the improvement of low-carbon governance performance of local governments due to the competition pressure;(4)Vertical intervention can significantly weaken the mechanism of collaborative inertia.Vertical intervention by higher-level governments can not only weaken the generation of collaborative inertia,but also alleviate its hindering effect on the improvement of low-carbon governance performance.The research conclusion not only reveals the background and mechanism of the generation of collaborative inertia,but also explores the resolution strategies of vertical intervention,providing theoretical and policy inspiration for overcoming the dilemma of low carbon governance.
