“…For example, the exemption of agricultural taxes (AT), the promotion of agricultural insurance (AI), and the introduction of the Scientific Outlook on Development (SOC) may all have an impact on agricultural green production. In line with the approach taken by Yao and Xi [83], this paper incorporated these policies into the model and includes corresponding dummy variables as controls. As shown in Table 6, even after controlling for various policies in columns (1)-(3), Invest × Policy is still significantly positive at the 1% level.…”

Education plays a crucial role in promoting green development by shaping environmentally friendly production behaviors and fostering low-carbon lifestyles. This research examines the impact of China’s free compulsory education (FCE) policy on agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) using provincial panel data from 2002 to 2015. Additionally, it explores the impact mechanisms and regional heterogeneity. The results indicate that first, the FCE policy has a significantly positive effect on AGTFP, as confirmed through a series of robustness tests. Second, the FCE policy primarily influences AGTFP by increasing farmers’ awareness of green production and promoting the development of green technologies in agriculture. Third, the impact of the FCE policy varies across regions. It promotes green technologies in agriculture in developed provinces and fosters ecological awareness among farmers in less developed provinces. These findings offer valuable empirical evidence and policy implications for implementing education popularization projects and reducing agricultural carbon emissions in developing countries.

“…This phenomenon indicates a growing global awareness of the detrimental effects of pollution and the reduction of natural resources ( 7 ). The purpose of these taxes is to create a framework for addressing environmental concerns that affect public health by internalizing external costs and providing incentives for environmentally responsible behavior ( 8 , 9 ). Climate change, air and water pollution, and resource shortages all have long-lasting effects on the quality of life ( 10 , 11 ); therefore, it’s important to understand how environmental taxes affect the welfare of societies.…”

IntroductionThe synergy of green taxation, public health expenditures, and life expectancy emerges as a compelling narrative in the intricate symphony of environmental responsibility and public well-being. Therefore, this study examine the impact of green taxation on life expectancy and the moderating role of public health expenditure on the said nexus, particularly in the context of China, an emerging economy.MethodsStatistical data is collected from the National Bureau of Statistics of China to empirically examine the proposed relationships. The dataset contains provincial data across years.ResultsUsing fixed-effect and system GMM regression models alongwith control variables, the results found a positive and statistically significant influence of green taxation on life expectancy. Moreover, public health expenditures have a positive and statistically significant partial moderating impact on the direct relationship.DiscussionThese findings suggest that the higher cost of pollution encourages individuals and businesses to shift to less environmentally harmful alternatives, subsequently improving public health. Moreover, government investment in the health sector increases the availability and accessibility of health facilities; thus, the positive impact of green taxation on public health gets more pronounced. The findings significantly contribute to the fields of environmental and health economics and provide a new avenue of research for the academic community and policymakers.
