In order to study the effect of horizontal ecological compensation on total factor productivity of water environment.This paper considers the horizontal ecological compensation agreement of the Xin'an River Basin signed by Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province in 2011 as a natural experiment, using the panel data of prefecture-level cities and above from 2004 to 2018, a DID method is used to evaluate the implementation of the policy on the total factor productivity of the water environment. The study finds that the implementation of the policy has achieved a win-win situation for economic development and environmental improvement. The implementation effect is sustainable. The implementation of policies is more to achieve “green mountains, green mountains and silver mountains” through efficiency improvements rather than technological progress. This article further conducts robustness tests by transforming the explanatory variables with the control group, excluding municipalities, counterfactual tests, and increasing the province's fixed effects, and shows that the conclusions of the study are robust.
