Effects of new energy vehicle industry policies on manufacturing carbon emission efficiency: evidence from econometrics and doubly robust causal machine learning
Tao Xie
In light of global climate change and carbon-neutrality targets, carbon emissions from the manufacturing sector and the development of the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry have become central to policy agendas worldwide. NEV industry policies are a key instrument for enhancing manufacturing carbon-emission efficiency. Using provincial panel data from 30 Chinese provinces over 2010–2023, this study examines the effect of NEV industry policies on manufacturing carbon-emission efficiency. A hybrid
