Taking the National Marine Ecological Civilization Demonstration Zones as a quasi-natural experiment, this study employs a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) model to examine the impact of the policy on inclusive green growth in coastal cities, based on panel data for 51 coastal cities in China from 2011 to 2023. The findings indicate that the establishment of National Marine Ecological Civilization Demonstration Zones significantly promotes inclusive green growth in coastal cities. This conclusion remains robust after a series of robustness checks, including parallel trend tests, individual and in-time placebo tests, exclusion of other policy shocks, PSM-DID tests, winsorization tests, and augmented fixed-effects specifications. Heterogeneity analysis further shows that the policy effect is more pronounced in cities characterized by higher governmental attention to ecological civilization construction, richer coastal resource endowments, and the implementation of smart city pilot programs. Mechanism analysis reveals that marine technological innovation, environmental governance investment, and the optimization of human capital structure play important mechanistic roles in enhancing inclusive green growth in coastal cities through the policy. Accordingly, efforts should be made to further improve the top-level design of marine ecological civilization construction, advance differentiated policy implementation across regions, and strengthen the synergistic effects of marine technological innovation, environmental governance investment, and human capital development, thereby fully unleashing the policy effectiveness of marine ecological civilization construction and promoting inclusive green growth in coastal cities.
