Abstract:

Objective: Exploring the impact and mechanism of the“Shan-Shui Initiative”on the development of regional forestry to provide theoretical support for improving the sustainable development policy and planning of ecological protection and restoration projects based on the synergy of economic and ecological benefits. Method: Based on the panel data from 33 county-level units in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2021, this study empirically tested the impact mechanism of the implementation of the“Shan-Shui Initiative”on the change of forestry green total factor productivity level by using the super-efficient SBM model and difference-in-difference model method. Result: 1) The implementation of“Shan-Shui Initiative”has a significant positive impact on regional forestry green total factor productivity. 2) The“Shan-Shui Initiative”contributes to the improvement of forestry green total factor productivity through regulatory and public effects. 3) The impact of“Shan-Shui Initiative”on forestry green total factor productivity varies significantly across different regional topography. Conclusion: Effective implementation of“Shan-Shui Initiative”and enhancement of forestry green total factor productivity require strengthened ecological conservation policies, optimized resource management systems, establishment of ecological compensation and green finance mechanisms, and reinforced green regulations and public participation.

Key words: Shan-Shui Initiative, forestry green total factor productivity, regulatory effects, public effects.
