Towards low carbon development: The role of forest city constructions in China

With the proposal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets, China has made great efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The latest and most competitive carbon emission data from Chen et al. (2020) and the time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) model is used to examine the role of forest ci...
