Discussion

Analysis reveals API's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in China, suggesting technological innovation may enhance this effect.

API significantly reduces carbon emissions, confirmed by various robustness tests on the data.
A U-shaped relationship was found in major grain-producing regions, showing specific regional impacts of API.
Technological innovation acts as a partial mediator, linking API and emission reductions.
Threshold analysis indicates nonlinear effects; emissions are suppressed at API levels above 0.60 but weaken past 0.95.

Zhao et al. (2025) studied this question.
