摘要：This study uses a quasi-difference-in-differences strategy to examine the net impact of place-based carbon reduction targets on economic growth of 285 cities in China. The Luenberger indicator is calculated to measure low-carbon technology at the city level and identify the influencing mechanism. The findings demonstrate that place-based carbon reduction targets have a negative influence on regional economic growth. The gap between place-based targets and actual declines in carbon intensity has created a compelling reason for local governments to intervene in economic activities. In terms of scale effect, this gap results in a decline in the input scale of core production factors. In terms of technological effect, the gap leads to a decline in low-carbon total factor productivity (TFP). The damaged low-carbon TFP is the major cause of the policy’s heterogeneous influences on economic growth in different regions. ? 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.
