Abstract
As a pivotal driver that facilitates the concentration of green innovation elements in key areas of energy conservation and emission reduction, new quality productive forces (NQPF) play a crucial role in carbon emission governance. Based on panel data from 108 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) spanning 2010 to 2022, this study employs a mediation effect model and a spatial Durbin model (SDM) to empirically examine the mechanisms through which NQPF influence carbon emission performance (CEP), measured by carbon emission intensity (CEI) and carbon emission efficiency (CEE), as well as their spatial spillover effects. The results reveal that NQPF significantly reduces CEI and…
