Abstract
This paper uses panel data from 278 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2021 to examine the relationship between low-carbon city pilot policies and industrial structure upgrading. It is found that China's low-carbon city pilot policy can significantly promote industrial structure upgrading. By enhancing scientific research support and improving the level of urbanization, the low-carbon city pilot policy can promote industrial structure upgrading. Compared to coastal areas in China, the promoting effect of the policy on inland areas is more obvious. The southeastern region shows a stronger promoting effect than the northwestern region. Besides, the impact of the low-carbon pilot policy on industrial structure upgrading has a non-linear characteristic at different carbon emission levels.
期刊介绍：
Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques.
Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
