Abstract
Under the global trend of carbon peak and neutrality, the effectiveness of the carbon emission in construction industry remains unverified. This research investigates the impact of carbon emission policies on green innovation in the construction industry. Utilizing a multi-period Difference-in-Differences (DID) model, this study analyzes data on the quantity and quality of green innovation patents. Findings indicate that carbon peaking policies significantly enhance both the quality and quantity of green innovations, particularly in fossil fuel decarbonization and pollution control. The analysis reveals that the policy's short-term effects are stable and do not exhibit lagging impacts. This study provides a framework for assessing the influence of carbon emission policies on green innovation, aiding in the formulation of effective carbon emission strategies tailored to the industrial context.
期刊介绍：
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
