LCCP policy, GTI, DIDAbstract
In response to the increasing focus on green development, the Chinese government has fine-tuned the low-carbon city pilot policy to bolster low-carbon development. The DID model is utilized in this study to empirically analyze the influence of the LCCP policy on green technology innovation in China’s pilot cities. The findings indicate that the LCCP policy has indeed promoted green technology innovation in these cities.
