- Abstract
The implementation of pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) is crucial for China's high-level opening up and high-quality development, emphasizing green growth and ecological protection. This study examines the impact of FTZs policy experiments on regional green development since 2013, revealing that FTZs significantly enhances green total factor productivity (GTFP) over time. The construction of FTZs improves green development by boosting green finance, service industries, and foreign investment, validating effective policy implementation and the government-market synergy. Economically backward regions can expedite green development by learning from advanced regions and leveraging latecomer advantages. Inland FTZs have a greater potential to drive policy effects and promote regional green development compared to coastal FTZs.
