Can location-oriented policies promote the green transformation of resource-based cities?Taking the establishment of"Comprehensive Reform Zone"in Shanxi as an example
Evaluating the effectiveness of transforming resource-based cities(RBCs)is vital for a better understanding of the impact of location-oriented policies on urban transition and development in China,especially in the context of China's"dual carbon"goals.Within this scope,the assessment of National Resource-Based Economic Transformation Comprehensive Supporting Reform Pilot Zone(CRPZ)in Shanxi province is particularly significant.Taking the CRPZ in Shanxi as an example,this study systematically assesses the impact of location-oriented policy on the green transformation and development(GTD)of RBCs by selecting sample data from 113 RBCs.Of these cities,10 within the CRPZ serve as the processing group,while the remaining 103 cities act as the control group.Specifically,the Global Malmquist-Luenberger index(GML)is proposed to evaluate the level of GTD in RBCs,and the Difference-in-Differences(DID)model is adopted to examine the policy effects and mechanisms of the CRPZ.The results reveal that the CRPZ improves the GTD of RBCs,initially showing an inhibitory effect followed by a promotional effect.Mechanism verification reveals that the CRPZ enhances the favorable regional industrial structure and innovation capability.The threshold effect of advanced and rationalized industrial structure and innovation capability on the GTD of RBCs further explains the stage characteristics of GTD of RBCs.
