Urban Ecological Carrying Capacity and Land Transfer in 282 Chinese Cities, 2004–2023

282 Chinese cities are covered by panel data from 2004 to 2023, quantifying urban ecological carrying capacity (UECC) via an index system and the entropy weight method. Authored by Yajuan Deng and uploaded in 2026, the dataset examines the impact of market-oriented land transfer (MLT) on UECC using a TOE theoretical framework. The analysis suggests mediating roles for technological innovation, industrial structure, and government environmental governance.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between market-oriented land transfer and urban ecological carrying capacity based on panel data.
• Investigating mediating pathways like technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading mentioned in the description.
• Examining spatial spillover effects and heterogeneity across city types (central/western, low-density, service-oriented).

Strengths

• Panel data spans 20 years (2004–2023) for longitudinal analysis.
• Covers a broad geographic scope of 282 Chinese cities.
• Uses a multi-dimensional index system and the entropy weight method for quantification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The authors note findings are associational, not definitively causal, due to potential reverse causality and omitted-variable bias.
