The double carbon goal is a wide and profound economic and social systematic change. It is also crucial to China's sustainable development. How to promote emission reduction, the National High-Tech Industrial Development Zones(NHTDZs) policy is the key to addressing this problem. Based on urban data from 2003 to 2019 from China, this paper uses the multi-time point asymptotic difference method to explore the impact of the NHTDZs establishment on carbon emissions. The establishment of NHTDZs reduces CO2 emissions, which remains valid through robustness tests. The mechanism analysis demonstrated that the construction of NHTDZs reduces CO2 emissions by increasing innovation levels, increasing research expenditures and emphasizing human capital. Further analysis shown that geographic location, initial resource endowment, population size, and level of green finance development are difference in different cities. This provides guidance promoting the development of NHTDZs and future layout.
双碳目标是一项广泛而深刻的经济社会系统性变革。它对中国的可持续发展也至关重要。如何促进减排，国家高新技术产业开发区（NHTDZs）政策是解决这一问题的关键。基于2003年至2019年中国城市数据，本文采用多时间点渐近差分法探讨国家高新技术产业开发区设立对碳排放的影响。国家高新技术产业开发区的设立减少了二氧化碳排放，通过稳健性检验后该结果依然成立。机制分析表明，国家高新技术产业开发区的建设通过提高创新水平、增加研究支出和重视人力资本来减少二氧化碳排放。进一步分析表明，地理位置、初始资源禀赋、人口规模和绿色金融发展水平在不同城市存在差异。这为促进国家高新技术产业开发区的发展和未来布局提供了指导。
