Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the most challenging issues in the world is climate change. To cope with this challenge and the accompanying increasingly severe environmental risks, more and more countries have pledged to develop their green economy. In this regard, green total factor productivity is an important measure used to evaluate the extent to which a country is mitigating its environmental concerns and still ensuring sustainable economic development. In addition, green finance also plays a vital role in sustainable economic development. The purpose of this Special Issue is to explore the nexus between green finance and green total factor productivity, and we invite research that provides policy makers with a better understanding of green finance, green total factor productivity, and their nexus. Technical papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and short notes will all be considered and should relate to these two areas. In this Special Issue, we welcome original high-quality papers (both theoretical and empirical) considering all related research areas. Interdisciplinary studies are also highly encouraged. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  1. Development of data envelope analysis models;
  2. Mechanisms influencing green finance;
  3. Fintech in green finance;
  4. Fintech in green total factor productivity;
  5. Static and dynamic analyses;
  6. Social benefit analyses.

Under the “dual carbon” goal, the core issue at present is to improve the environment while ensuring economic development. As a result, green finance, that is a tool that integrates finance and environmental protection, has shown increasingly significant carbon reduction effects. With the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2021 being the research object, this study employs a spatial Durbin model to examine the impact of green finance on carbon emissions and further discusses its mechanism effects. The empirical results indicate the following: firstly, the development of green finance effectively suppresses carbon emissions; secondly, by decomposing the spatial effect of green finance on carbon emissions, it is found that green finance also reduces carbon emissions in neighboring regions due to the spillover effects; finally, green finance can suppress carbon emissions through technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading. Therefore, it is imperative to actively engage in practical work related to green finance, to establish a sound system for green finance, and simultaneously, to enhance cooperation among regions in terms of green finance, in order to fully leverage its role in suppressing carbon emissions.
