Abstract
The manufacturing sector is the main battlefield of energy saving and carbon reduction in China, and vigorously promoting energy saving and carbon reduction in manufacturing and enhancing the green development level are the key links to support China's realization of the dual-carbon goal. The article adopts the SBM-GML model to measure the level of green development of the manufacturing industry in China. Based on this, it analyzes the spatio-temporal characteristics and the evolution law of the level of green development of the manufacturing industry by using the Dagum Gini Coefficient and Kernel Density Estimation. Using a spatial econometric model to explore the influencing factors of the level of green development of the manufacturing industry. The study finds that the green development level of the manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable results in recent years, but there are differences in the development level of each region. The regional differences in the level of green development of the manufacturing industry are significant. The optimization of manufacturing structure is a key factor influencing the level of green development of the manufacturing industry, and there is a positive spatial spillover effect of manufacturing structure optimization. However, The green development of the manufacturing industry shows a negative spatial spillover effect. The article proposes optimization paths based on the requirements of dual-carbon targets and regional characteristics, which is an important inspiration and reference for the green development level of the manufacturing industry in the world.
