• Influencing factors of carbon emissions in the construction industry from the perspective of industrial chain: empirical case of Tianjin (2026) · Frontiers in Sustainable Cities · doi

  5.1 Conclusion This study uses an environmentally extended input–output analy- sis model to calculate the total carbon emissions of Tianjin’s construc- tion industry from 2012 to 2020, and applies the SDA model to decompose the influencing factors of the changes in overall carbon emissions in Tianjin’s construction industry. Furthermore, the SPD model is employed to identify and decompose the factors affecting carbon emissions in the key industrial chains associated with Tianjin’s construction industry. Based on these analyses, the following conclu- sions are drawn.

• Is carbon trading working for construction companies green development ? Evidence from listed Chinese companies (2024) · Frontiers in Environmental Science · cited 3× · doi

  7.1 Conclusion As global climate change worsens, carbon trading is increasingly recognized as a critical environmental management and control technique for mitigating the negative consequences of economic activity on the climate. Additionally, considering the vital role of the building industry in human survival, supporting green and sustainable development in this sector is critical to the existing economic and social framework. Thus, investigating the response of construction firms’ green development situation to the implementation of CET policies is critical for their harmonious development. This research analyzes data from construction firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share and ChiNext markets between 2007 and 2022. It utilizes DID and mediation effect models to empirically explore the influence of CET on the green development situation of Chinese construction companies, aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. The key finding is that the CET policy significantly enhances the GTFP of these firms. Additionally, green technology innovation serves as a pivotal mechanism through which CET policy influences the GTFP of these enterprises. According to the analysis, the carbon emissions pricing plan benefits larger-scale, state-owned, and deeply indebted construction businesses more. Furthermore, enterprises in China’s eastern regions show a greater improvement in GTFP than those in the middle and western areas. This research indicates that CET could enhance the green development level of construction firms in China and it is necessary to adjust the policy according to different situation of firms. 7.2 Practical implications Reflecting on and focusing on the implementation of CET policies in developed regions can provide valuable lessons for developing countries and regions. For example, the development of CET policies in the European Union has had different impacts on enterprises at different stages. Andreou and Kellard (2021) found that companies with proactive environmental behaviors under the EU ETS performed poorly financially. From the first to the second phase, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) harmed corporate profits (Abrell et al., 2011). In the third phase of the EU ETS, the motivation for companies to improve production efficiency may not have improved (Carratù et al., 2020). If the carbon emission trading system becomes more stringent, high-emission enterprises are more likely to divest and relocate (Genovese and Tvinnereim, 2019). companies Conversely, the additional costs onto participating in CET could pass consumers to increased turnover (Marin et al., 2018). Regarding China’s specific national conditions, construction enterprises transitioning from traditional operational models to green low-carbon models will inevitably incur costs, which will likely be borne by consumers (Zhang and Wang, 2021). Timely monitoring of the effects of construction enterprises participating in carbon trading policies is crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of these policies. through product pricing, scholars leading found some have that
