“…In a broad sense, industrial transfer also includes invisible transfer, that is, the change of industrial input or output scale caused by the change in the final demand for a product in other regions [ 54 ]. Industrial structural change is often accompanied by the phenomenon of industrial transfer, which promotes industrial upgrading and balanced regional development [ 55 ] and impacts CO 2 emissions [ 21 , 26 ]. In other words, industrial transfer means adjusting the regional industrial structure, and the latter can lead to changes in energy consumption, which is directly related to CO 2 emissions.…”

“…In the context of international and domestic industrial transfer continuing to increase [ 14 , 17 , 18 ], this issue deserves further study. In addition, most of the existing studies related to industrial transfer have explored the rationality of the international ‘pollution heaven’ hypothesis [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. They measured international industrial transfer through a country’s trade openness, FDI, trade comparative advantage index, export/import value and other indicators to judge the relationship between international trade and environmental pollution [ 9 , 20 , 23 ].…”

“…Meanwhile, most previous studies on the environmental effects of industrial transfer have only clarified the direction of its effect and the time trend, or explored the direct impact and indirect spill-over effects from the perspective of spatial regression [ 7 , 15 , 17 , 21 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. There are few studies on the internal mechanism.…”

As an important cause of global warming, CO2 emissions have become a research hotspot in recent years. Industrial transfer impacts regional CO2 emissions and is related to the low-carbon development of regional industries. Taking the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH region) as an example, this study analysed industrial transfer’s direct and indirect impacts on CO2 emissions based on a mediating model and two-way fixed effect panel regression. The results obtained indicate that industrial transfer-in has promoted CO2 emissions to a small extent, and the positive impact of industrial transfer-in on CO2 emissions wanes over time. Industrial transfer affects CO2 emissions by acting on the economic level, on population size, and on urbanisation level, but the indirect effect is weaker than the direct effect. Industrial transfer does not lead to technological upgrading, but the latter is an effective means of carbon emission reduction. Industrial transfer-in has shown a positive effect on CO2 emissions for most cities, but there are exceptions, such as Cangzhou. In the future, the BTH region should maintain coordinated development among cities and improve the cooperative innovation mechanism for energy conservation and emission reduction.

“…Many developed countries have transferred their own emissions to trade partners from which they import goods 9 . The implied increase in energy consumption in exports is due to the expansion of the export scale 10 , 11 . Therefore, the coordination of the relationship between China’s economic development and environmental pollution also warrants attention.…”

Many developing countries are facing the difficulty of choosing between economic growth and energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER). China has strengthened the implementation of ECER by setting environmental accountability as the development goal of local governments, hoping to have better governance effects. To evaluate the actual intervention effect of this approach, this paper constructs panel data covering 46 countries from 1995 to 2014 and uses the difference-in-differences (DID) method and the composite control method to quantitatively analyse the policy effect. The results show that China can effectively curb energy consumption and carbon emission intensity per unit of GDP by adding ECER targets to the government’s five-year plan, which has significant effects on ECER. Furthermore, we use an intermediary mechanism to test and identify low-carbon alternatives and an ECER promotion mechanism for technological advancement. The conclusion shows that economic development is compatible with low carbon and energy consumption. Combined with China’s long-term goals for ECER, it can be considered that on the road to achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in the future, the economy and tertiary industry should be rationally developed, the degree of urbanization should receive more attention, and the proportion of thermal power generation should be reduced.

“…This pledge Expressed China's determination to contribute to protecting the world's ecological environment, promoting the green comprehensive transformation of economic and social development. However, China continues to be the country with the largest carbon emissions in the world (Wu et al, 2021a). According to BP (2021) in 2019, total global carbon emissions are 34,169 MT, and China's carbon emission was 9,825.8 MT, accounting for 28.8% of the world total.…”

As the country with the largest CO2 emissions in the world, the Chinese government has put forward clear goals of hitting peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutralization by 2060. Thus, China started piloting carbon emission trading in 2013, and in July 2021 China opened national carbon trading, which is the largest carbon market in the world (China Launches World, 2021). Therefore, it is very important for China to study the role and mechanism of carbon trading at present. Based on the quasi-natural experiment of China’s carbon market pilot, this paper uses panel data of 30 provinces in mainland China from 2008 to 2019 to conduct an empirical study on carbon emission reduction and the economic effects in China’s pilot provinces through a Time-varying Differences-in-Differences method model. The results show that the implementation of a carbon trading policy can significantly inhibit carbon emissions and promote economic growth. At the same time, this paper further analyzes the emission reduction mechanism of the carbon emissions trading policy through the intermediary effect test and finds that the policy mainly realizes carbon emission reduction by changing the energy consumption structure, promoting low-carbon innovation, and upgrading the industrial structure. In addition, innovative research has found the impact of a carbon price signal and marketization on the emission reduction effect of the carbon market. Finally, targeted suggestions are put forward.
