“…According to Hoover's classification of specialized agglomeration and diversified agglomeration [46], the mechanism of agglomeration's effect on energy efficiency is divided into manufacturing agglomeration, productive service agglomeration, and synergistic agglomeration for analysis in this paper. From the perspective of industrial agglomeration, productive services need to transform potential service demand into actual industrial demand, while manufacturing agglomeration and industrial synergy agglomeration have strong policy orientation and require technological innovation to achieve regional industrial spatial pattern optimization [47]. Thus, the low-carbon city pilot policy can effectively target and promote the phenomenon of industrial agglomeration under its strong policy orientation and its promotion effect on enterprise innovation.…”

An increase in energy efficiency is an essential element and a powerful driving force for the in-depth implementation of the sustainable development strategies necessary in accelerating the promotion of green, circular, and low-carbon development, as well as to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. An important question with regard to this paper is thus: can the low-carbon city pilot policy promote energy efficiency improvement, and if so, through what mechanisms? This paper uses the SBM–Malmquist–Luenberger index method to measure the green total factor energy efficiency and examines the impact and pathways of the pilot policy on the energy efficiency of enterprises, using a sample of listed manufacturing enterprises in 230 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2020. Additionally, the time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) method is approached in this paper. After replacing energy efficiency with slack-based measure directional distance function model (SBM-DDF) and conducting a series of robustness tests, this study found that the pilot policy can significantly improve the energy efficiency of manufacturing enterprises. A mechanism test shows that this policy can promote green innovation effect and agglomeration effect to improve enterprises’ energy efficiency. The low-carbon city pilot policy has contributed the most to energy efficiency through enterprise investment in green innovation and manufacturing agglomeration. Heterogeneity analysis found that policy effect differs among firms in terms of different sizes and properties, and the pilot policy plays different roles among different regions. This paper provides firm-level theoretical support and empirical evidence for evaluating low-carbon city pilot policy and offers policy recommendations.

“…The study of IATC is a topic that attracts the attention of numerous researchers, especially in relation to its impact on the innovative performance of firms (Nestle et al, 2019;Howell, 2020;Song et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2023). It should be noted that research on this field extends beyond specific industries, having been conducted both in traditional and knowledge-intensive industries (Belso-Martínez et al, 2019;Troisi et al, 2021).…”

“…The input of the public and the local government together form a common political decision-making system. At the same time, local government will put forward practical policy plans according to the needs and participation of the public in order to form the output of the political decision-making system [90][91][92][93][94][95][96]. In the process of local government policy output, the public will have new expectations, which will further lead to new input and output.…”

With rapid economic development, the protection of the ecological environment has become very important. The modernization of rural ecological governance is the basis and prerequisite for the sustainable economic and social development of vast rural areas of China in the current era. It is urgent to analyze the influencing factors and to improve China’s rural ecological environment governance efficiency for Rural Revitalization in the new era, and to promote the modernization of the national environmental governance system and governance capacity. This paper empirically examines the influencing factors on rural ecological environment governance efficiency in the whole country, and in the eastern, central and western regions separately, at the provincial level, using the Tobit regression model. The results show that, at the national scale, the level of rural economic development, the size of village committees and rural public participation all have positive roles in promoting the efficiency of rural ecological environment governance. Rural population agglomeration, financial support for agriculture. And environmental protection social organizations have negative roles, hindering the efficiency of rural ecological environment governance. From the perspective of the eastern, central, and western regions, the factors affecting the efficiency of rural ecological environment governance are different due to regional differences. According to the results of empirical analysis, it is proposed that the key issue in improving the efficiency of rural ecological environment governance in China is to promote differentiated regional coordinated governance mechanisms.
