[Analysis of the Synergistic Effects of Energy Consumption Permit Trading Scheme on Pollution Reduction and Carbon Abatement].

Under the "dual-carbon" strategic goals, it is urgent to examine whether the energy consumption permit trading scheme （ECPTS）, as an innovative system in China's market-oriented reform of the energy sector, can promote the synergistic enhancement of pollution reduction and carbon abatement. Based on provincial panel data of China from 2008 to 2019, this study adopted a difference-in-differences model to examine the impacts of the ECPTS on the synergistic enhancement of pollution reduction and carbon abatement. The results demonstrated that the ECPTS improved the level of pollution reduction and carbon abatement in pilot areas. Specifically, the ECPTS led to a reduction of 13.3% in CO
