Based on panel data on 273 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2016, the propensity score matching-difference in difference method (PSM-DID) was wsed to investigate the effect of carbon emission trading policy on urban carbon emission intensity and its mechanism. The study found that such policies significantly and continuously lead to the reduction of carbon intensity in pilot cities, and the effect became more significant in recent years. Consequently, through the mediation effect analysis, this paper found that adjustment on the industrial structure and energy saving methods effectively reduced the carbon intensity while the impact of scientific research remained unclear. Based on the finding, this paper suggested further nationwide promotion on carbon emission trading policy, optimization of industrial structure, increase in tertiary industry proportion, promotion on enterprise energy saving, and establishment of a green low-carbon consumption concept.
