Abstract
Existing studies have found a non-linear relationship between the
energy consumption structure (ECS) and the green total factor
productivity (GTFP), but their influencing factors are not yet clear.
This study examines the spatial impact of existing green development
measures on coordinating the ECS and the GTFP using the
coupling and spatial econometric models. The research findings
are as follows: (1) The coordination between the ECS and the
GTFP has increased over time, and the coordination is significantly
higher in economically developed cities. (2) The spatial analysis
results show a significant spatial auto-correlation between the
ECS and the GTFP coordination. Green development approaches
such as environmental regulations, technological innovations, and
industrial structure significantly contribute to the degree of coordination.
Decomposition of the spatial effects shows that technological
innovations significantly affect local and neighbouring
cities. These conclusions hold after endogeneity and robustness
tests. The results suggest that local governments in city clusters
should promote environmental regulations, industrial structure,
and technological innovations to promote the coordinated development
of the ECS and the GTFP of urban agglomerations
