本研究は、中国の低炭素都市パイロット政策（LCCP）が、本来の炭素削減目的に加えて、スマート製造技術の導入を促進する意図せざる効果を実証した。2007年から2023年のA株上場企業データを用いた差分の差分分析により、LCCPがスマート製造採用を有意に促進することを確認。人的資本の向上と資源配分効率の改善がメカニズムとして機能している。
English
This study empirically examines the unintended co-benefits of China's Low-Carbon City Pilot Policy on smart manufacturing adoption among listed firms from 2007 to 2023. Using staggered difference-in-differences, it finds significant promotion of smart manufacturing technologies. Mechanism analysis reveals human capital upgrading and improved resource allocation efficiency as drivers.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Smart manufacturing provides a practical pathway for enhancing economic performance while reducing environmental impact. This study empirically examines the unintended co-benefits of China’s Low-Carbon City Pilot (LCCP) Policy in promoting smart manufacturing adoption among A-share-listed firms from 2007 to 2023. Employing a staggered difference-in-differences approach, we find that the LCCP significantly promotes firms’ adoption of smart manufacturing technologies, despite its original focus on carbon mitigation rather than digital transformation. The effect is more pronounced among firms located in cities with lower resource dependence and more advanced industrial structures, as well as among traditional manufacturing firms and firms facing tighter financial constraints. Mechanism analysis further shows that city-level human capital upgrading lowers firms’ costs of adopting smart manufacturing technologies, while improvements in firms’ resource allocation efficiency enhance their ability to adopt smart manufacturing technologies. These findings highlight how targeted environmental policies can unintentionally catalyze technological upgrading, offering theoretical insights into policy-induced co-benefits and practical guidance for integrating industrial upgrading with sustainability objectives.
