Abstract

The low-carbon development model as a representative of environmental regulatory policies will also affect the upgrading of the economy’s industrial structure. Based on the panel data of 233 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2017, this article uses the “low-carbon city” construction pilot policy as the starting point, and utilizes the double difference method to examine the impact of China’s environmental regulatory policies on the upgrading of industrial structure. The results show that low-carbon city policies have significantly inhibited the upgrading of China’s overall industrial structure.
