The Effect Evaluation of China’s Energy-Consuming Right Trading Policy: Empirical Analysis Based on PSM-DID

Identifying the policy effect of Energy-Consuming Right Trading (ECRT), clarifying its mechanism of energy conservation and consumption reduction, is beneficial to realize the win–win situation of economic growth and emission reduction in China. This study first builds a Propensity Score Matching–Di...

The results show that: (1) The policy can reduce energy intensity by 6.4% to 10.2% in the pilot area. (2) The policy mainly achieves energy consumption reduction by optimizing the industrial structure and promoting scientific and technological input, while the resource tax intensity and the proportion of coal consumption also have synergistic and hindering effects on the policy.
