Cultural Consumption Policy and Urban CO₂ Emissions: Data from China's National Pilot Program

This dataset includes city-level panel data for 284 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2015 to 2023, collected to study the impact of the National Culture and Tourism Consumption Pilot Program (CCPP) on urban CO₂ emissions. The dataset is used in a quasi-natural experiment framework to examine the causal effects of cultural consumption policies on carbon emissions. It includes variables such as per-capita CO₂ emissions, city economic characteristics, population size, fiscal capacity, and service-sector share, alongside a policy indicator capturing the implementation of CCPP. The analysis offers insights into the role of green innovation and digital infrastructure in amplifying the policy’s emissions-reduction effects, contributing to the understanding of demand-side environmental policies.本数据集涵盖2015年至2023年中国284个地级市的城市层面面板数据，旨在探究国家文化和旅游消费试点城市（National Culture and Tourism Consumption Pilot Program，CCPP）政策对城市二氧化碳（CO₂）排放的影响。本数据集采用准自然实验框架，用以检验文化消费政策对碳排放的因果效应。数据集包含人均二氧化碳排放量、城市经济特征、人口规模、财政能力、服务业占比等变量，同时设置了用于捕捉CCPP政策实施情况的政策标识变量。本研究通过该数据集分析了绿色创新与数字基础设施在强化政策减排效应中的作用，有助于深化对需求侧环境政策的认知。
