Abstract

In the context of global climate change, China has proposed the "Carbon peaking and Carbon neutrality goals" goal of carbon emissions will reach carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060. As a market-based environmental regulation policy to promote greenhouse gas emission reduction, carbon emission trading policy is expected to reduce carbon emissions and improve carbon productivity, among which industrial structure plays a regulatory role in the impact of carbon emission trading policy on carbon productivity. Using the provincial data of China from 2006 to 2019, this paper evaluated the influence of carbon emission trading policy on carbon emission, taking the industrial structure as the regulating variable, studied the industrial structure in the influence of environmental regulation on carbon emission, and tested the regression results of DID model through parallel trend test, placebo test and PSM-DID model regression. After the above research process, the following conclusions are drawn: the carbon emission trading policy has a significant positive promotion effect on carbon emission reduction, and it is further concluded that the industrial structure has a significant negative regulatory effect on carbon productivity under the carbon emission trading policy.
