Abstract：Environmental regulation is the most powerful regulatory method in the country's deep promotion of the"dual carbon"strategy,and as the main spatial carrier for the implementation of the"dual carbon"strategy,cities are the fundamental level for promoting environmental regulation policies.This study constructs a conceptual model of the impact of environmental regulations on urban green innovation performance,and further constructs a system dynamics model of the impact of environmental regulations on urban green innovation performance.Low carbon pilot cities such as Hangzhou,Tianjin,and Chongqing are selected for empirical testing to reveal the micro impact mechanism of environmental regulation policies on urban green innovation performance.The research results indicate that the strength of environmental regulatory tools has a positive policy effect on promoting innovation performance improvement in low-carbon pilot cities,and the size of policy effects varies among different types of environmental regulations.The positive effect of the policy combination of environmental regulatory tools is better than that of any single policy.Therefore,local governments should promote the improvement of green innovation performance in cities by balancing and optimizing the combination of environmental regulatory policy tools,in order to help achieve the"dual carbon"goals.
