Discussion

This quasi-natural experiment shows green industrial policy improves eco-efficiency in urban land use, suggesting broader ecological benefits.

Green industrial policy significantly enhances eco-efficiency in urban land use across 287 Chinese cities.
The study employs a quasi-natural experiment and multi-period difference-in-differences framework from 2007 to 2022.
Findings indicate the policy boosts urban green technological innovation and optimizes energy consumption structures.
Results highlight the policy's positive effects are stronger in resource-declining and smaller cities with higher public environmental concern.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
