A Study Based on Quasi-Natural Experiment with Double Difference Method: Can Carbon Trading Policies Improve Firms’ Green Total Factor Productivity?
With the continuous development of society and economy, climate change has attracted widespread attention from all sectors. Currently, China is in a critical period of coordinating development and environmental governance, and carbon trading policies are advancing steadily. Against this background, whether carbon trading policies can promote the improvement of enterprises’ green total factor productivity has become a hot issue. Based on this question, this study verifies and analyzes through a quasi-natural experiment using the difference-in-differences method, and explores targeted suggestions and countermeasures, aiming to provide a reference for relevant personnel and jointly contribute to the realization of the “dual carbon” goals and the promotion of green development.
