“…Presently, there is no unified understanding of the measurement indicators of GI capability. The measurement of GI capability in academia is mainly executed from the following dimensions: GI Index [45], GI performance [46], and the number of green patents [47,48]. The construction indicators and weights of the GI index are different; therefore, the constructed innovation index is not comprehensive and objective.…”

The digital economy (DE) plays a crucial role in green innovation (GI) and green development as a new economic form. Based on the panel data of 274 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2019, this paper constructs a comprehensive DE index and conducts two-way fixed effect regression to explore its impact on GI capabilities and examines the mediating effect of industrial structure transformation and upgrading. The research results show that: (1) The development of the DE has significantly improved the GI capability of cities. (2) In terms of space, the development of DE and GI ability development in eastern cities outperform that in central and western regions. However, the development of eastern cities is almost saturated and slow, while the development of central and western cities is faster. (3) The DE has a significant role in promoting GI capabilities in the central and western regions. Although the eastern region has a positive impact, it is negligible. In terms of urban scale, the DE of the large, medium, and small cities positively affects GI capabilities to the effect. (4) The transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure mediate the relationship between the DE and GI. Based on the above conclusions, relevant suggestions for improving GI capabilities around the development of the DE and industrial transformation and upgrading must be devised.

To alleviate climate change and environmental issues, China has implemented many environmental regulation policies. This paper takes the SO2 and carbon emission trading pilots (SETP, CETP) in China as the quasi-experiment and, under the difference-in-difference framework, studies whether the market-based environmental regulation (MER) policy promotes green technology innovation. The investigation is conducted employing patent data with the “IPC Green Inventory” on the panel data of China’s 278 prefectural-level cities over the period 2003–2017. We found that 1) as for a single policy, SETP successfully promoted green technology innovation, but failed in CETP, which shows that not all MER policies can play a positive effect on green technology innovation. Meanwhile, SETP and CETP did not change the direction of technology innovation and had no impact on total technology innovation. 2) For the combination policy, SETP and CETP failed to jointly promote green technology innovation, and with the current MER policy in China, it is difficult to realize the policy combination effect. This result implies that repeated implementation of similar environmental policies failed to stimulate innovation. 3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that the promotion effect of SETP on green technology innovation, mainly in the eastern region, and the promotion effect on invention patents is more prominent than utility model patents, which shows that green technology has improved not only in quantity but also in quality. These findings provide empirical evidence and policy implication for the efficient implementation of environmental regulation.

“…However, in the long term, the CETS-generated Porter effect coexisted with emissions reductions and economic development [52]. In general, the literature can be summarized into two aspects: first, that which is exploring whether the CETS can produce the Porter effect and, second, that which is exploring the impact scope of the CETS in producing the Porter effect; e.g., Shen et al found that emission charges are effective in green process innovation [53], while Zhu et al found that the innovation incentive effect of the CETS does not exclude other technological innovations [54], Du et al found that there is a negative spatial spillover effect of the CETS [55], and so on. Few papers have explored the effect of CETS on LUTs.…”

The carbon emission trading system (CETS) is a milestone policy in the history of China’s emission trading system, which is of great significance to China’s realization of “carbon peak and carbon neutralization”. As an important component of sustainable development, LUT should be related to the CETS. However, in the literature on the CETS, little material deals with its impact on land use transition (LUT). This paper will enrich this literature. Based on 30 provincial regions in China from 2011 to 2017, using the DID and entropy methods, this study investigated the impact of CETS on the trend of LUT from three perspectives: economic effects, environmental effects and Porter effects. The conclusions are that (1) the implementation of the CETS hindered economic development, but optimized energy-use efficiency; (2) the implementation of the CETS reduced the emissions of CO2 and SO2; (3) the implementation of the CETS did not produce a Porter effect; and (4) the influence of the CETS had the characteristics of a spatial cluster. These findings offer some guidance for improving CETS policies and formulating similar environmental regulation policies.
