摘要：
At the city level, this paper uses a quasi-natural experiment to study whether green performance appraisal motivates local governments to improve air quality, and then measures the efficiency of urban air pollution control based on super-SBM model, and further identifies the influencing factors of the efficiency of air pollution control. The empirical results show that the performance assessment of air pollution control significantly promote local governments to improve air quality, and the average annual PM2.5 concentration of experimental cities decreased by 3.38% more than that of control cities. Secondly, in recent years, the efficiency of air pollution control in China has gradually declined, especially in the central and western regions. While foreign investment has a negative impact on air pollution control efficiency, the development level of science and technology service industry has a positive impact on air pollution control efficiency, and the impact of science and technology investment level is not significant. Therefore, this paper proposes that China should maintain the performance appraisal system of air pollution control as a long-term system, and raise the admittance threshold of “two high” type industries in air pollutant discharge, so as to promote local governments to control air pollution. In addition, the city needs to increase investment in green science and technology and vigorously develop science and technology services to promote the green transformation of the city. © 2023 Systems Engineering Society of China.
