“…As we can see, the estimated coefficients of Pilot * Time × IPP in columns ( 1)-( 3) are all significantly positive at the 1% level, indicating that urban intellectual property protection intensity is a positive moderator in the promotion of urban GI by the NEEC. This result is consistent with Feng and Nie's description of the role of intellectual property protection in urban GI on Broadband Infrastructure Construction [49].…”

“…However, using the PSM method, we can match each experimental group sample to a specific control group sample, making the quasi-natural experiment approximate randomization. To overcome the selection bias problem, we employ the PSM-DID method to estimate the effect of the NEEC policy on GI [49]. Specifically, the dependent variable is used as the result variable, the six control variables are used as the matching variables, and the nearest neighbor matching method is used to fit the control and experimental city samples.…”

Green innovation is a new driving force to promote green and low-carbon development. Whether an energy transition strategy can induce green innovation is an important question that has not been clearly answered. With the help of panel data from 281 cities in China during 2007–2021, this study considers China’s new energy exemplary city policy as a quasi-natural experiment and conducts a difference-in-differences model to explore the effects and mechanisms of energy transition strategy on urban green innovation. The results show that a new energy exemplary city effectively induces urban green innovation, with mediating mechanisms of increasing government financial support, promoting human capital agglomeration, and improving energy efficiency. The moderating mechanisms test reveals that environmental regulation and intellectual property protection play a positive moderating role in the promotion of green innovation through the new energy exemplary city policy. Heterogeneity analysis suggests that the new energy exemplary city policy has a stronger effect on promoting green innovation in eastern regions and non-resource-based cities. Our findings not only enrich our understanding of the relationship between energy transition strategy and green innovation but also provide a reference for policymakers to promote energy transition and green innovation.

“…This suggests that the level of intellectual property protection positively mediates the relationship between the digital economy and green innovation efficiency. This is similar to the findings of Fen and Nie (2024), who reported that intellectual property protection plays a crucial role in moderating the effect of digitalization on technological innovation, enabling synchronized development between the two [51]. A possible reason for this is that continuously improving the level of intellectual property protection during the R&D stage of green innovation technology can effectively stimulate enterprise enthusiasm for independent innovation, enhance the expected returns of green innovation investments, and contribute to the formation of a new pattern of technology and knowledge sharing, thus radiating and driving the green development of neighboring regions.…”

Resolving the conflict between economic growth and ecological sustainability is crucial when transitioning from traditional economic development towards a sustainable green model. In this context, the super-NSBM model was applied to measure the efficiency of green innovation technology research and development. Additionally, it was applied to measure the efficiency of the green innovation achievement transformation among 30 Chinese provinces. This evaluation was conducted for the period from 2011 to 2021, and it utilized a two-stage innovation value chain perspective. The entropy method was used to comprehensively calculate the digital economy development index, and the impact of digital economy development on the two-stage green innovation effect was empirically explored using SDM. The findings revealed the following: Firstly, both two-stage green innovation efficiency and digital economy development exhibited significant spatial characteristics. Secondly, digital economy development had a positive effect on two-stage green innovation efficiency not only in the local region but also in neighboring regions. This conclusion remained valid throughout a series of robustness tests. Thirdly, in terms of regional heterogeneity, the eastern region and non-resource-based regions had greater digital economy development dividends than the central, western, and resource-based regions; therefore, the effect on two-stage green innovation efficiency was more significant. Lastly, both intellectual property protection and data factor endowment exerted positive moderating effects on the influence of the digital economy on two-stage green innovation efficiency. The conclusions of this research provide a theoretical backing for and empirical proof of the mechanism of digital economy development and its impact on two-stage green innovation efficiency. Policy implications are suggested based on these findings, such as reinforcing digitalization, establishing targeted policies, and fostering a favorable external environment conducive to technological innovation.

“…To further eliminate the differences in control variables related to ECER demonstration cities, we refer to Hainmueller to construct the entropy balancing method for testing, which has more advantages than PSM [61]. This method makes the probability score between the control and experimental groups similar without causing sample loss [62]. The coefficients of ECER remain significantly negative after using the samples processed by the entropy balancing method (see Table 5), providing additional evidence that the ECER policy effectively reduces both TCEs and CEI.…”

In response to the escalating global climate change, countries are progressively adopting green public finance as a crucial instrument for achieving carbon neutrality. This study considers energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER) in demonstration cities’ construction as a natural experiment and verifies the effect of green public finance on total carbon emissions (TCEs) and carbon emission intensity (CEI) by using a difference-in-differences (DID) model with the help of the panel data of 276 Chinese cities from 2006 to 2019. The empirical results indicate that (1) the ECER policy effectively reduces CEs in the demonstration cities, resulting in a reduction of TCEs by 13.13% and CEI by 12.90%; (2) the ECER policy can help optimize energy structure, accelerate green technology innovation, and improve energy efficiency, thus promoting “dual control” of CEs; and (3) the CE reduction effect of the ECER policy is stronger in western cities, southern cities, lower-administrative-level cities, and cities with weaker financial strength, which has a typical “supporting the weak” effect. Based on this, we conclude that green public finance is conducive to promoting “dual control” of CEs. Our conclusions not only enrich the theoretical research on green public finance but also provide governments with empirical evidence to implement more effective green public finance policies and expedite carbon neutrality.
