The spatial spillover effect and mediating effect of green credit on agricultural carbon emissions: Evidence from China

Agriculture has become a main source of greenhouse gas emissions globally, so limiting agricultural carbon is an important part achieving neutrality in China. The reduction needs the support green credit. This paper explores spatial effect and mechanism credit on emissions. Specifically, based panel data 30 Chinese provinces from 2009 to 2019, relationship between empirically analyzed using econometric mediating models. results show that significant inhibitory Meanwhile, can also limit surrounding areas through spillover effects. Moreover, study reveals indirectly suppress by promoting technology innovation. Based above conclusions, this puts forward policy recommendations for development
