“…Numerous countries have implemented diverse environmental regulatory measures to optimize the deployment of ecological resources at a societal level [6,7]. There are primarily three fundamental policy tools for environmental regulation, including command-and-control policies, market-based policies, and voluntary policies [8][9][10][11]. Command-and-control policy instruments are mandatory environmental regulatory tools mediated through environmental legislation, pollution emission limits, and the development of technology access standards.…”

The building industry, as one of the fundamental and pivotal sectors of economic development in China, is also a high source of pollution emissions. Therefore, construction enterprises play a pivotal role in urban low-carbon development, and green innovation is an effective approach for these corporations to meet emission reduction targets and enhance economic benefits. This study primarily focused on the panel data of Chinese construction companies from 2000 to 2019. This study applied a multi-period double difference model. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of piloting low-carbon city policies on green innovations in the construction sector. The results indicate that the policy clearly advanced the green development of enterprises in the construction industry, and this effect persisted even after undergoing long-term robustness tests. The heterogeneity test results revealed that the pilot policy has been more effective in promoting green innovation for SOEs as well as for construction companies that are in the process of maturing.

With the acceleration of urbanization in recent years, China has witnessed large-scale construction across its provinces, generating massive amounts of construction waste that pose challenges to environmental protection and sustainable development. This study evaluated the impact of construction waste policy intensity on its environmental efficiency. Firstly, the content analysis method was used to analyze the construction waste policy text quantitatively. Second, this study constructed a slack-based measure (SBM) model based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), considering resource input and construction waste output to measure environmental efficiency. Finally, we built and tested an econometric model of how policies affect environmental efficiency using the system generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM). The findings indicate a non-linear U-shaped link between policy intensity and environmental efficiency. Among all five control variables, population density, urbanization level, and technological innovation enhance environmental efficiency, while economic development and highway density will lower it. This study advances the research on construction waste policies and offers some insights for the construction industry to pursue sustainable development.
