摘要：
Carbon emission trading scheme is an important policy tool to achieve the carbon peak and neutrality targets, and it is of great practical significance to evaluate the impact of the policy on the economy, society and the environment. This study uses the data from 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2017 to construct the index of sustainable economic welfare, and develops the difference-in-differences model to evaluate the impact of China’s carbon emission trading scheme on sustainable economic welfare. The results show that: 1) The carbon emission trading scheme has significantly promoted the growth of sustainable economic welfare in the pilot areas. Compared with non-pilot areas, the sustainable economic welfare of the pilot areas has increased by 1,220 yuan per person. 2) The impact of carbon emission trading scheme on the sustainable economic welfare of the eastern pilot area is relatively the largest, which is 2,020 yuan per person. At the same time, with the increase in clean energy consumption and R&D investment in the eastern region, the carbon emission trading scheme can significantly promote the improvement of sustainable economic welfare in the eastern pilot areas. 3) The carbon emission trading scheme has a certain lag effect on sustainable economic welfare, and the lag period is about two years. © 2023 Systems Engineering Society of China.
