The impact of comprehensive bonded zones on regional green total factor productivity: evidence from China
Abstract Based on China’s provincial panel data from 2004 to 2022, using two-way fixed effects model, we explore the impact of Comprehensive Bonded Zones (CBZs) on regional green total factor productivity (GTFP). We found that CBZs can significantly improve regional GTFP, and this still holds under different CBZ modes. CBZs can promote GTFP through industrial structure upgrading, and CBZs converted from export processing zones are able to promote GTFP through optimizing energy structure, but their negative FDI technology spillover inhibit the growth of GTFP. This study provides important insights into how high-level openness promotes regional economic green development.
