Spatiotemporal heterogeneity and driving factors of PM2.5 reduction efficiency: An empirical analysis of three urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China

Understanding the spatiotemporal heterogeneities of PM2.5 reduction efficiency (PRE) and their driving factors are substantially critical for the atmospheric environmental governance. Using the balanced panel data covering 2003–2017 of the three urban agglomerations (UAs) in the Yangtze River Econom...

Using the balanced panel data covering 2003–2017 of the three urban agglomerations (UAs) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), Middle-Reach Yangtze River (MRYR), and Cheng-Yu (CY), as the research sample, this paper quantified the PREs by non-separable input–output SBM-Undesirable model and then investigated the spatiotemporal heterogeneities through Dagum Gini Coefficient, Kernel Density Estimation and Markov Chain, as well as analyzed the driving factors of PRE using panel quantile regression. The results show that: (1) The overall PRE of the three UAs was relatively low, with an average of 0.630, the YRD showed the highest PRE (0.684), followed by the CY (0.615), while the MRYR suffered the lowest (0.588).
