Abstract: Abstract Green finance is crucial for China’s low-carbon transition. Treating Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zones as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper uses panel data of 279 prefecture-level cities (2011–2022) and a multi-period DID model to examine the policy’s impact on urban total factor carbon emission rate (TFCE). Results show the policy significantly improves TFCE, robust to various checks. Mechanism analysis reveals green technology innovation and industrial structure optimization as key channels. The paper provides evidence for optimizing green finance policies.
