“…Narsa Goud (2022) came to similar conclusions by studying the 220 nonfinancial listed companies in India. Besides, an increasing number of studies also investigated the impacts of economic growth (Wang et al, 2019;Ding et al, 2020), industrial structure (Abudureheman et al, 2023b;Honma et al, 2023), population density (Hong et al, 2022), digital economy (Wu et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2023), carbon market (Torres and Pinho, 2011;Zhou et al, 2022) and green innovations (Xu et al, 2021b;Chen et al, 2021) on carbon emission performance, however, it is worth noting that very few studies have paid attention to the potential impacts of energy-saving R&D, as a main source of energy technology progress, on urban carbon emission performance and its internal transmission mechanism, especially for the case of China.…”

Different from the previous studies that mainly focus on the environmental and economic benefits of the total R&D, we specifically focus on the R&D activities in the energy field, namely, energy-saving R&D in this study, and explored the spatial impacts of energy-saving R&D on urban carbon emission performance and its internal transmission mechanisms for the first time. The heterogeneity analysis from the perspectives of different-types of R&D and different urban groups were also conducted. Results indicate that: Energy-saving R&D has obvious promoting effect on the improvement of urban carbon emission performance, among which the utility-type energy-saving R&D plays a more important role than the invention-type R&D. Energy-saving R&D promotes urban carbon performance mainly through the transmission mechanism of technical effects, while structural effect and urbanization effect negatively affects carbon emission performance due to the existence of energy rebound. Furthermore, there exists significant spatial spillover effects of energy-saving R&D on urban carbon emission performance, and economic factors play a more important role in this spatial effect. In addition, the impact of energy-saving R&D on carbon emission performance has obvious urban group heterogeneity. Finally, we proposed several policy suggestions based on the main conclusions of this study.
