Spatio-Temporal Influencing Factors of the Coupling Coordination Degree Between China’s New-Type Urbanization and Transportation Carbon Emission Efficiency by Han Jia, Weidong Li, Runlin Tian

“…The following is found: (1) NU and CET show a spatial pattern of “leading in the east and lagging in the west”, and are optimized over time, but with significant regional differences; (2) the degree of coupling coordination jumps from “basic disorder” to “basic coordination”, but has not yet reached the level of advanced coordination, with significant spatial clustering characteristics (Moran’s I index between 0.244 and 0.461); (3) labor force structure, transportation and energy intensity, industrial structure and scientific and technological innovation are the core factors driving the coupled coordination, and have significant spatial spillover effects, while government intervention and per capita income have limited roles. …”
