Impact of Economic Growth Target Management on Urban Land Green Use Efficiency:Empirical Evidence from 282 Cities at Prefecture Level and Above
The purpose of this study is to use panel data from 282 cities at prefecture level and above in China from 2006 to 2021 to systematically examine the impact of economic growth target management on urban land green use efficiency.The research methods include super-efficient SBM model and fixed effects model.The results shou that:1)the economic growth target has a significant negative impact on urban land green use efficiency,and this finding has passed a series of robustness tests such as overcoming endogeneity.2)Both formal and informal environmental regulations mitigate the negative impact of economic growth targets on urban land green use efficiency,and the latter has a stronger moderating effect.3)There is a clear phenomenon of increasing economic growth targets from top to bottom,and the behavior of increasing targets have a constraint effect on urban land green use efficiency.4)As the degree of goal constraint is general constraint and hard constraint,and the goal completion status is from never completed,normal completed to over completed,the negative impact of economic growth goals on urban land green use efficiency is significant and gradually increasing.In conclusion,we should further downplay the importance of the GDP growth rate in official performance evaluation,try to use a soft constraint approach of"leaving room"to set economic growth goals,and pay attention to the constraint effect of environmental regulations.
