“…According to the existing literature (Qiu et al, 2021 ; Fan et al, 2022 ; Jiang et al, 2021a , b , c ; Liu and Xin, 2019a , b ), many policies affect regional GTFP, such as low-carbon pilot cities, construction of the ecological civilized pilot cities, innovative cities, and the Belt and Road Initiative. Therefore, we conclude that these policies may influence the effect of the significant promotion of the construction of PFTZ on urban GTFP.…”

“…Second, existing studies on the factors affecting GTFP can be divided into two types: (i) evaluating the development trend of GTFP in China as a whole (Gao and Yuan, 2022 ; Tao et al, 2017 ; Zhang and Tan, 2016 ) and (ii) exploring the factors that affect GTFP, such as the level of green finance, the openness, the financial separation, the degree of foreign investment openness, the level of science and technology, the environmental supervision and regulation, the human capital, and the industrial structure (Ding et al, 2022 ; Lee and Lee, 2022 ; Song et al, 2018 ; Yu et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2022 ; Wang et al, 2018 ; Zhao et al, 2020a , b ; Wang et al, 2021a , b , c ; Zhu et al, 2019 ; Lu et al, 2020 ). In addition, some scholars also explored the policy and institutional factors affecting GTFP from the perspectives of carbon emissions trading pilots, the government environmental information disclosure, the construction of smart city pilots, the construction of e-business pilot cities, and the Belt and Road Initiative (Huang and Chen, 2022 ; Zhao and Chen, 2022 ; Cao et al, 2021 ; Jiang et al, 2021a , b , c ; Liu and Xin, 2019a , b ).…”

“…However, the only three relevant studies were due to the late start on this subject. For the first one of these three, Jiang et al ( 2021a , b , c ) considered Shanghai PFTZ as an example to examine the effect of the construction of PFTZ on GTFP using the synthetic control method and find that institutional dividends released by PFTZ construction have significantly elevated the GTFP of Shanghai by improving the level of scientific and technological innovation. However, there are 21 PFTZs in China, and they have made significant improvements in trade, investment, financial, and administrative regulatory innovations.…”

“…The dilemma between environmental pollution and economic growth has been an important topic of frontier research (Grossman and Krueger, 1991 ; Tavoni and Levin, 2014 ; Semieniuk et al, 2021 ; Lee et al, 2021 ; Gohlke et al, 2008 ; Wang et al, 2022a , b ). With the global economic development, the deepening of economic globalization and economic complexity will further aggravate regional environmental pollution (Adebayo et al, 2022 ; Sharif et al, 2019 ).…”

Do pilot free trade zones improve the green total factor productivity? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

China’s pilot free trade zone (PFTZ) is an important national strategy to achieve high-quality development, so it is necessary to discuss the effect of PFTZ implementation on green total factor productivity (GTFP). Based on the data from 279 cities in China from 2004 to 2018, this study takes the establishment of PFTZ as a quasi-natural experiment and uses the difference-in-differences (DID) method to systematically evaluate the effect of PFTZ on urban GTFP. The empirical results of this paper are shown as follows: Firstly, the construction of PFTZ has a significant effect on urban GTFP, and this effect has increased gradually over time. Secondly, the construction of PFTZ mainly promotes the urban GTFP by increasing the level of science and technology innovation, reducing government intervention and improving the level of human capital. Thirdly, the effect of PFTZ construction on GTFP is more pronounced in regions with earlier waves of PFTZ and in western regions where environmental concerns are higher. In addition, there is a significant positive linkage between the construction of the PFTZ and the Belt and Road Initiative to improve the urban GTFP. The findings of this paper enrich the relevant literature on PFTAs and sustainable development and provide a theoretical basis for further promotion of PFTZ construction.

“…The literature links Blue Growth to SDGs (Islam & Shamsuddoha, 2018;Lee & al., 2020;Yarkina & Logulova, 2021), but it also proposes a better mapping of this one in the context of environmental protection (Lee & al., 2021). If the green economy is associated with the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda, some of them can also be associated with the blue economy.…”

Economic growth is linked to the development and use of natural resources. With the emergence of the idea of sustainable development, the idea of green economy or bioeconomy is born, based on better management of natural resources, through the use of environmentally friendly economic instruments. The new objectives of sustainable development are related to both water protection and responsible consumption and production. This makes the transition from the green economy to the blue bioeconomy. This article examines the link between the blue bioeconomy and the goals of sustainable development in the light of new environmental policies and regulations. The conclusions are that the blue bioeconomy, complementing the green economy, can ensure the decoupling of economic development from the intensive use of non-renewable resources and that together they can lead to a better achievement of sustainable development goals.

Forest road network planning and development is important in providing accessibility to remote forest areas for timber harvesting, transportation to markets, and recreational activities, as well as preventing environmental degradation, soil erosion, water pollution, and an increased risk of forest fires and wildlife habitat fragmentation. Within the context that careful forest road transportation planning and design promotes sustainable forest management and development, this paper develops a multilayer network model for supporting sustainable forest transportation development. The model builds on a total environment conceptualization and the network paradigm, and it is composed of several layers, each containing information from an environmental aspect or a forest road network land use. By using community detection analysis from network science, the model provides insights into the decomposition of the forest network into functional areas, highlights the importance of places that connect different communities to maintain market integration, and provides a list of policies and good practices for the resulting communities. Overall, this paper presents a quantitative methodological framework that can be used for sustainable forest transportation.
