我国环境规制下的规制效率与全要素生产率研究:1999-2008

Research on Regulation Efficiency and TFP of Environmental Regulation in China from 1999 to 2008

本文首先运用方向性距离函数测度了我国各省、自治区、直辖市1999-2008年间在无环境规制、弱环境规制、中环境规制以及强环境规制四种情形下的环境技术效率以及环境规制成本。其次,运用Malmquist-Luenberger指数方法测度了各地区在环境规制下的全要素生产率及其分解。最后,利用面板数据对影响我国环境规制下全要素生产率的因素进行了实证检验。本文主要得出如下结论:考虑环境规制后,全国各地区平均环境技术效率水平提高,但地区差异较大;环境规制是有成本的,而且环境规制政策越严格,成本越高,各地区的环境规制成本也存在较大差异;实施环境规制后,全要素生产率增长水平提高;外商直接投资、资本深化、工业发展水平和环境保护力度对我国环境规制下的全要素生产率有显著影响。

This paper uses directional distance function to measure the environmental technology efficiency and environmental regulation cost under four environmental regulation status on different areas in China from 1998 to 2008.based on Malmquist-Luenberger index method,the authors measure total factor productivity(TFP) as well as their decomposition under environmental regulation.Finally,we examine the factors which influence the TFP.We arrive at conclusions as follows: environmental technology efficiency improves when environmental regulation is taken into account,but with disparity among different regions;stricter environmental regulation brings higher costs;TFP improved as environmental regulation was taken into practice;FDI,capital deepening,industrial development level as well as environmental protection has remarkable influence on TFP under environmental regulation.
