This study is based on 2006-2019 panel data from 282 Chinese cities. Market segmentation and green development performance are empirically investigated to examine their non-linear relationship using static panel, dynamic panel, and dynamic spatial panel models. The results reveal the following: (1) Green development performance is found to have a high degree of temporal and spatial path dependence, exhibiting spatial linkage between cities. (2) Market segmentation stemming from local government protection has a clear inverted U-shaped structure in relationship with the green development performance. (3) Our analysis suggests that the upgrading of industrial structures significantly enhances green development, while factor price distortion inhibits it. The relationship between market segmentation and industrial structure upgrading is also an inverted U-shape. (4) The analysis further reveals that market segmentation has an inverted U-shaped correlation with the green development performance in western, central, and eastern cities. However, the different rates of development of industrial structures within the three regions result in varying degrees of market segmentation according to inflection point values. Moreover, aligned with the theoretical hypothesis of "resource curse," in resource-based cities (exclusively), market segmentation still affects the green development performance with a significant inverted U-shaped structure.
本研究基于 2006-2019 年中国 282 个城市的面板数据，采用静态面板、动态面板和动态空间面板模型，实证检验了市场分割和绿色发展绩效的非线性关系。结果表明：（1）绿色发展绩效具有较强的时空路径依赖性，城市间存在空间关联。（2）源于地方政府保护的市场分割与绿色发展绩效呈明显的倒 U 型关系。（3）产业结构升级显著促进绿色发展，而要素价格扭曲则抑制绿色发展，市场分割与产业结构升级之间也存在倒 U 型关系。（4）进一步分析发现，市场分割与西部、中部和东部城市的绿色发展绩效呈倒 U 型相关关系。但是，三个地区产业结构的发展速度不同，根据拐点值，市场分割程度也不同。此外，与“资源诅咒”的理论假说一致，在资源型城市（仅），市场分割仍然以显著的倒 U 型结构影响绿色发展绩效。
