This study examines the impact of carbon trading pilot programs on economic development and stability in China. Using panel data from 31 Chinese provinces (2005-2021), a difference-in-differences (DID) model was employed. Results show that carbon trading pilot programs have an immediate effect on economic stability and a positive impact on high-quality economic development. However, regional heterogeneity exists in these effects. The relationship between carbon trading and overall economic development remains inconclusive, requiring further research.
