Enhancing resource cities' resilience and advancing their sustainable development are imperatives, particularly in light of the "dual-carbon" agenda. Double-difference and spatial double-difference models are developed based on the panel data of 281 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2020 to investigate the effects of implementing the National Plan for the Sustainable Development of Resource-Based Cities on the level of ecological resilience in Chinese cities. This paper found that the National Sustainable Development Plan for Resource-Based Cities significantly improves the ecological resilience level of Chinese cities, and the findings are robust. The impacts of implementing the Plan on the ecological resilience of cities of different growth types, regions, and resource types are heterogeneous. Further study finds a spatial spillover effect of implementing the Plan on the ecological resilience of cities, which can improve the ecological resilience level of neighboring cities through spillover effects while improving the ecological resilience level of cities in the region. Based on these new findings, this study provides some policy implications for better advancing sustainable urban development.
增强资源型城市韧性，推进其可持续发展，是“双碳”目标下的必然要求。本文利用 2005-2020 年中国 281 个城市的面板数据，构建双重差分模型和空间双重差分模型，实证检验《全国资源型城市可持续发展规划（2013-2020 年）》对中国城市生态韧性的影响。研究发现，《规划》的实施显著提升了中国城市的生态韧性水平，结论稳健。同时，《规划》对不同增长类型、地区和资源类型城市的生态韧性提升作用具有异质性。进一步研究发现，《规划》的实施具有空间溢出效应，能够通过溢出效应提升周边城市的生态韧性水平，进而提升所在区域的城市生态韧性水平。基于上述研究结论，本文提出了相关政策启示，旨在更好地推进可持续的城市发展。
