Can green financial policy drive urban carbon unlocking efficiency? A causal inference approach based on double machine learning by Weixin Tang, Qihao Zhou

“…The results show that: (1) GFRIPZ significantly enhances CUE, and this conclusion remains valid after undergoing a series of robustness checks. (2) Mechanism validation reveal that GFRIPZ enhances CUE through three pathways: optimizing industrial structure, reducing energy intensity, and strengthening public environmental concern. (3) Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the carbon unlocking effects of GFRIPZ are more pronounced in eastern regions, large cities, non-resource-based cities, cities with higher internet development levels, and cities with advanced financial development. …”
