Abstract: Abstract Under the push of the dual-carbon goals and the broader shift toward green development, the new energy vehicle industry has moved to the center of China’s path to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. The New Energy Demonstration City Pilot Policy, introduced in 2014, changed how cities used energy, pulled related industries together, and gave green technology more room to grow. It also created a policy setting that mattered for new energy vehicle firms. What is still less clear is how far this policy changed firms’ innovation spending and financial results, and whether that effect looked the same across different firms. This paper studies Chinese A-share listed new energy vehicle companies from 2012 to 2024 and treats the 2014 policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Using a difference-in-differences model, it looks at the policy’s causal effect on innovation input and overall financial performance.
