Abstract
This study investigates whether the introduction of high-speed rail (HSR) in China reduces carbon emissions through increased green innovation (GI) and the resilience of environmental investment (REI). Using data from 284 Chinese cities (2000-2021) and a difference-in-differences (DID) model, the results show that HSR introduction reduces carbon emissions via GI and REI. Moderating effects of the digital economy, urban-rural disparity, and city type (resource-based or not) are also analyzed.
