Chinese City Land Regulation and Carbon Emissions, 2006-2022

Data Sheet 2_The impact of government land regulation on carbon emission intensity is an unbalanced panel dataset covering 230 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2022, with 3,566 observations. The dataset, authored by Jingyang Lan and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, examines the relationship between land supply, use purpose, and intensity regulations and city-level carbon emission intensity.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between land supply regulation and carbon emission intensity based on the described beta coefficients.
• Investigating the moderating role of industrial structure upgrading on land regulation pathways mentioned in the results.
• Conducting regional heterogeneity analysis of policy impacts based on the described study design.
• Testing for mediation effects of corporate green behavior between land regulation and emissions as outlined in the methods.

Strengths

• The dataset covers a 17-year time range from 2006 to 2022.
• It includes observations from 230 prefecture-level cities in China.
• The study employs multiple econometric models, including correlated random effects and two-way fixed effects, as described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 303.7 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregated summary statistics.
