Abstract:Based on panel data of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2017, this paper evaluated the heterogeneous impacts of carbon trading policies on industrial carbon productivity using the methods of differences-in-differences, dynamic effect analysis, and triple difference. Meanwhile, this paper adopted the multiple mediating effect model to explore the impact mechanism of carbon trading polices on industrial carbon productivity. The results show that impacted by the carbon trading policies, the carbon productivity increased by 29.2% in pilot regions when compared with non-pilot regions. The heterogeneity test shows the carbon trading polices had significant impacts on the carbon productivity in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hubei, while they had small impact on the carbon productivity in Guangdong and Chongqing. The mechanism analysis shows that carbon trading policies can effectively improve carbon productivity by exerting the mediating effects of environmental governance, structural optimization and technological innovation, and the mediating effect of structural optimization effect is the largest. These findings will provide policy implications for the development of China's carbon market in the future.
