Impact of the low-carbon city pilot policy on green total factor productivity: a quasi-natural experimental design using an epsilon-based measure

Utilizing a panel dataset of 273 prefecture-level cities in China from 2000 to 2019, this study evaluates the impact of the low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policy on green total factor productivity (GTFP). This study calculates GTFP via a hybrid function model of the epsilon-based measure. Using a stag...
