Abstract
Using China’s regional input–output table, the paper constructs indicators of manufacturing servitization, matches manufacturing servitization at the regional level with city data, and uses spatial econometrics to empirically analyze the impact of manufacturing servitization on urban sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions within the classical Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework. The results show that manufacturing servitization can reduce SO2 emissions. Producer servitization and consumptive services can both significantly reduce industrial SO2 emissions. Transportation and warehousing servitization, information servitization, leasing, and commercial servitization, technology research and development servitization significantly reduce SO2emissions; technology research and development servitization, in particular, have the largest influence coefficient, while the reduction effect of servitization in the wholesale and retail and finance sectors is not significant. The study also found that servitization reduced the SO2 emissions through technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading.
