Is the "pollution haven hypothesis" valid for China's carbon trading system? A re-examination based on inter-provincial carbon emission transfer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In recent years, China had released various environmental regulations in order to respond climate change and corresponding environmental issues. However, due to imbalanced economic development and industrial structure, different Chinese regions had different enforcement levels on environmental regulations, which led to the regional transfer of pollution-intensive industries. To study the regional disparities on carbon emission transfer, this paper used the propensity score matching-difference in differences method (hereinafter abbreviated as "PSM-DID") to evaluate the mechanism between carbon trading pilot policies and the transfer of pollution-intensive industries. Panel data on 30 Chinese provinces were used to test the validity of the "pollution haven hypothesis," covering the period of 2010-2018. The empirical results showed that under the constraints of established environmental regulation, the pilot policy promoted the transfer of pollution-intensive industries to a certain extent and verified the "pollution haven hypothesis"; the proportion of the secondary sector and energy industry in the pilot areas had been reduced after the pilot policy; on the contrary, the technical level and the economic development level of the pilot provinces and cities had been further improved.
