  • How artificial intelligence amplifies decarbonization in urban waste management: Causal evidence from China

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu, Hui Jin et al.•ARTICLE•Utilities Policy•2026

  • When AI goes to court: Does technology enhance the decarbonization effect of environmental judiciary? Quasi-experimental evidence from China

    Haowen Wu, Shiping Chen et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2026

    As nations pursue ambitious decarbonization targets, questions arise regarding whether technological innovation can amplify the effectiveness of environmental institutions. This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) integration transforms environmental judiciary capacity to reduce carbon emissions, leveraging China’s establishment of specialized environmental courts beginning in 2007 as a quasi-natural experiment. Employing a triple-dif…

  • Using nighttime light data to assess the impact of AI pilot cities on government overtime in China

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2026•References: 54

    In an era of rapid urbanization and digital transformation, nighttime light data has emerged as a powerful proxy for measuring after-hours work. This study investigates whether the artificial intelligence (AI) pilot cities initiative, launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2019, reduces overtime in Chinese government offices. Drawing on satellite-derived nighttime light data from more than 300 cities, it identifies changes in after…

  • Bluer rural skies through digital government transformation: Evidence from a mixed methods study

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Journal of Rural Studies•2026•References: 89

  • Does Open Government Data Alleviate the Burden on Government Employees? Evidence From a Quasi‐Experiment in China

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Review of Policy Research•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 30

    The digital transformation of public administration has prompted significant debates about its effects on government operational efficiency and employee workload management. This study examines the relationship between open government data initiatives and government employees' burden by utilizing satellite‐measured nighttime light intensity to capture nocturnal government overtime activities across 315 Chinese cities. Employing a difference‐in‐di…

  • From shadows to spotlight: NGO pollution disclosure and the dual transformation of environmental and tourism landscapes

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Environmental Science & Policy•2025•References: 13

  • Synergy or conflict: Can E-government policy mixes drive environmental improvements? Evidence from China's multi-pilot quasi-experiment

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Telecommunications Policy•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 63

  • Cities that breathe: Quantifying carbon emission reductions through forest city designation

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Forest Policy and Economics•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 5

  • Quantifying the Synergistic Effects of Sustainable Development Policies: A Quasi-natural Experiment Approach

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu•ARTICLE•Social Indicators Research•2025•Cited by: 4•References: 44

  • Does industrial sustainable development policy act as a booster for urban economic growth? Evidence from China's eco‐industrial parks

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu, Xin Nie et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainable Development•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    Eco‐industrial parks (EIPs), which reduce pollution and transform the industrial sector to be more environmentally benign, represent the industrial sustainable development policy. However, little research has concentrated on its economic effects. We explore the impacts of 93 national demonstration EIPs on urban economic development using time‐varying difference‐in‐difference, based on panel data from 330 Chinese cities from 1995 to 2018. We show …

  • Eco-industrial parks and green technological progress: Evidence from Chinese cities

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu, Xin Nie et al.•ARTICLE•Technological Forecasting and…•2023

  • Are policy mixes in energy regulation effective in curbing carbon emissions? Insights from China's energy regulation policies

    Open Access•Jianxian Wu, Xin Nie et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Policy Analysis and…•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 29

    We consider the policy mixes of three categories of energy regulation policies in China: renewable energy law (mandatory policy), low‐carbon city pilot (voluntary policy), and carbon emissions trading system (market‐based policy). The mix of mandatory, voluntary, and market‐based policies mitigates 4.359 million metric tons of carbon emissions. Voluntary and market‐based energy policies work, while mandatory policy fails due to rent‐seeking by lo…

  • Evaluation of coastal wetland ecosystem services based on modified choice experimental model: A case study of mangrove wetland in Beibu Gulf, Guangxi

    Open Access•Xin Nie, Xihang Jin et al.•ARTICLE•Habitat International•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 39

  • How do ecological protection policies affect the restriction of coastal development rights? Analysis of choice preference based on choice experiment

    Open Access•Han Wang, Yanchun Yao et al.•ARTICLE•Marine Policy•2022

  • Contributing to carbon peak: Estimating the causal impact of eco‐industrial parks on low‐carbon development in China

    Open Access•Xin Nie, Jianxian Wu et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Industrial Ecology•2022

    Low‐carbon development is associated with eco‐industrial parks (EIPs), but whether a causal relationship exists is unknown. A growing body of evidence from environmental engineering studies suggests that EIPs reduce carbon emissions, but few economic studies have assessed the causality, channels, and heterogeneity of this relationship. This study uses the staggered difference‐in‐difference method to construct a quasi‐natural experiment to assess …

  • Can self-governance tackle the water commons? — Causal evidence of the effect of rural water pollution treatment on farmers' health in China
