Abstract Improving carbon emission efficiency is the key to achieve a win-win situation between economic growth and carbon emissions reduction. Based on the panel data of 114 resource-based cities from 2006 to 2020 in China, this paper estimated the carbon emission efficiencies using the super-efficiency SBM with unexpected output model, and then examined the influential effect, internal mechanism and heterogeneous characteristics of economic growth goals on carbon emission efficiency. The results indicated that:As a whole the carbon emission efficiency of resource-based cities showed a fluctuating upward trend during the study period, but there was significant heterogeneity between cities in different regions and different growth stages. The improvement of the economic growth target significantly reduced the carbon emission efficiency, and this conclusion passed a series of robustness tests such as overcoming the endogeneity. The internal mechanisms were inhibiting technological innovation and strengthening resource dependence. Any degree of addition in economic growth target would inhibit the carbon emission efficiency. The reduction effect of economic growth goals on carbon emission efficiency existed only in the central, western, mature and declining resource-based cities, as well as in the samples before 2013 or 2015. Meanwhile, the negative impact became more apparent as the overcompletion level increased.

Key words： economic growth target carbon emission efficiency resource-based cities super-efficient SBM model top-down amplification
