Abstract
The strengthening of the deep integration of innovation and green is a necessary measure for sustainable urban development. Based on the improved Global-EBM, this study regards the innovative city policy as a quasi-natural experiment and evaluates its spatial spillover effects and potential impact channels. The results show that (1) The innovative city policy enhances the urban total factor carbon emission efficiency (TFCEE) and has positive spatial spillover effects on surrounding regions. (2) The mechanism test shows that the effective channels for innovative city policies to enhance TFCEE and generate spatial spillover effects come from improving the degree of green technology and resource allocation. (3) The spillover effect of innovation city policy is more significant for developed, coastal and advanced industrial structures. This study strengthens the theoretical foundation for promoting cross-regional green coordinated development and provides valuable suggestions for policymakers.
