“…Such research started from qualitative analysis and focused on the system, strategy, and means of haze prevention and control (Hand et al., 2014; Mele & Magazzino, 2020; Schmalensee & Stavins, 2013; Zhu et al., 2019). For example, some scholars use econometric models to study the social and economic basis of haze pollution control (Achilleos et al., 2019; Hao et al., 2020; Koop et al., 2010; Loizeau et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2021). These studies can be broadly classified into two categories.…”

Under the system of political centralization and economic decentralization, the expanding scale of land finance and the increasingly severe environmental pressure have jointly become crucial features of China's urban development. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the intrinsic mechanism of land finance on haze pollution for China's economy to achieve kinetic energy transformation and green development. This paper empirically analyzes the impact of land finance on haze pollution using a dynamic spatial Durbin model based on panel data of 269 prefecture‐level cities in China from 2004 to 2017. The statistical results show that haze pollution has a significant “snowball effect” and space spillover effect. Land finance has a significant positive effect on haze pollution. Land transfer both by agreement and by bid invitation, auction, and listing have significant positive effect on haze pollution. However, the promoting effect of land transfer by agreement on haze pollution is significantly higher than that of land sale by bid invitation, auction, and listing. Furthermore, regional heterogeneity implies that for cities in the eastern region, land finance is conducive to alleviating haze pollution. In contrast, for cities in the central and western regions, land finance significantly promotes haze pollution.

“…The total area is 16,410.54 km 2 , with mountainous areas and plains accounting for 62 and 38%, respectively. As the political and cultural center of China and the economic center of Northern China, Beijing has experienced rapid urbanization and industrialization since the reform and opening-up (Sun et al, 2014;Hao et al, 2020). According to the statistical yearbook of Beijing, the gross domestic product (GDP) increased from 10.9 billion CNY in 1978 to 3,310.6 billion CNY in 2018, and the population increased from 8.7 million in 1978 to 21.5 million in 2018.…”

With the acceleration of economic and social development, the demand for natural resources has increased. To realize the sustainable utilization of natural resources (SUNRs), it is necessary to seek ways to improve natural resource utilization benefits (NRUBs) and promote the coordinated development of economic, social, and ecological benefits. This study explores the coupling coordination relationships of NRUBs in Beijing from 1978 to 2018 and analyzes the influencing factors. We first establish a comprehensive evaluation index system covering economic, social, and ecological benefits to quantify NRUBs. Then, a coupling coordination degree (CCD) model is applied to reveal the evolution characteristics of the coupling coordination relationships among the NRUB system. Finally, the main factors affecting the coordinated development of NRUBs are identified through gray relational analysis (GRA). Three main results are found: 1) from 1978 to 2018, the economic, social, ecological, and comprehensive benefits all have been significantly improved, although with some fluctuations. 2) The coupling coordination relationships of NRUBs show upward trends during the study period, and their coordination types transform from imbalance to coordination. 3) Urbanization, industrial structure, technology innovation, economic development, and environmental awareness all have significant impacts on the coupling coordination relationships of NRUBs. Measures such as transformation of the economic development mode, improvement of public facilities, construction of spiritual culture, ecological protection, and technological innovation need to be recognized to achieve coordinated development. This study can provide a reference for other comprehensive evaluations of natural resources and the formulation of natural resource utilization policies.

“…However, an emerging trend is that high-skilled workers have started to factor in air pollution in their utility functions which affect their outmigration decisions (Chen et al, 2017;Khanna et al, 2019). A recent survey focusing on Beijing, a city with many exceptionally talented and skilled workers, finds that since 2011, severe air pollution has decreased the willingness of young college graduates to work in this city (Hao et al, 2020). Instead, possible alternative choices for the young graduates are to relocate to second-or third-tier prefectures in their quest for higher amenities and work-life balance.…”
