英文摘要	Technological innovation reduces energy costs, accelerates energy transition, and is a key driver of economic growth. However, it has inconclusive effects on energy productivity, which is calculated as the ratio of economic output to energy consumption. In this study, we empirically investigated the effects of China's innovative city pilot policy (ICPP) on energy productivity using a difference-in-differences (DID) framework. The empirical findings revealed that in China, the implementation of the ICPP has led to an economically and statistically significant improvement in energy productivity and the magnitude of increase was estimated to be approximately 15% based on DID and matched DID analyses. We tested and confirmed the robustness of our results and conducted mechanism analysis to examine the three channels through which the ICPP exerts its effect on energy productivity, namely innovation quality, research and development expenditure, and innovation behavior.
