Abstract: Employing panel data from Chinese manufacturing enterprises spanning 2011–2022 and a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) framework, this study reveals the causal effects of China’s carbon emissions trading policy. Specifically, the policy significantly enhances the development of new quality productive forces within manufacturing enterprises by boosting green technology innovation. The main effect is more pronounced in enterprises with low pollution levels and those located in eastern China. Clearly, the carbon emissions trading policy functions as a pivotal instrument for fostering structural transformation toward advanced productivity systems in the manufacturing sector.
