As an important policy to promote global energy transition and carbon emission reduction, does the carbon emission trading policy help promote foreign direct investment inflows, thus alleviating the contradiction between environment and economic development? Based on the “OLI paradigm,” by using the data of China’s 30 provinces from 2007 to 2016 and taking China’s pilot implementation carbon emission transaction policy in 2013 as the natural experiment, so as to construct a differences-in-differences model, this study empirically analyzed the impact of carbon emission transaction policies on foreign direct investment and conducted an in-depth analysis and discussion on related heterogeneity. The empirical results show that 1) there is a positive correlation between the carbon emission trading policy and foreign direct investment; 2) the results of heterogeneity analysis show that the effect of carbon emission trading policy on the increase in FDI is more significant in the areas with a stronger environmental regulation, a higher degree of marketization, and low energy consumption. The conclusions of this study enrich the analysis of the effectiveness of government environmental policies from the perspective of both environment and economic development and provide relevant policy enlightenment for developing countries in environmental regulation and attracting foreign direct investment.Systematic Review Registration: [website], identifier [registration number].

Improving carbon emission efficiency is an important means to achieve pollution reduction and sustainable economic development. Rather than focusing on the implementation of market-incentive environmental policies in developed countries, we study the effect of the implementation of market-incentive environmental policies on the efficiency of carbon emissions in developing countries, which is generally ignored by frontiers researches. Based on panel data of 282 cities at prefecture-level and above in China from 2007 to 2017, we first adopt the non-radial distance function (NDDF) and global DEA model to measure the carbon emission efficiency of China’s cities. Then we take the Chinese carbon emission trading pilot as a quasi-natural experiment and explore the impact of carbon emission trading policy on carbon emission efficiency based on DID method. And the mechanisms are analyzed through the mediation effect model. It is found that the carbon emission rights trading policy can significantly improve the carbon emission efficiency of the pilot cities, and it mainly plays a role through three channels: technological progress effect, green innovation effect and energy consumption structure optimization effect. The heterogeneity test results show that for resource-based cities and cities with a higher degree of marketization, the carbon emission trading policy has a more obvious effect on improving carbon emission efficiency.

Abstract This paper presents a new water market mechanism, which can be used for selecting the best trading policy by incorporating the uncertainties of total annual available water and wholesale price of agricultural products. In this mechanism, water users are asked to submit bid packages via a web-based platform. A bid package represents the real values that a user puts on different quantities of withdrawn groundwater considering its quality. Then, the most reliable water trading policy as well as the price of water are calculated by taking the market endogenous and exogenous uncertainties into account using the regret theory. The results show that by applying the proposed uncertainty-based smart groundwater market mechanisms to the Nough Plain in Iran, the average productivity of water users increases about 18% compared to the status quo condition. Furthermore, based on the outputs of the proposed market model, groundwater is finally distributed to agricultural users almost proportional to their farms area.
