资源价格与污染排放--基于开放性资源市场下的生产性排放视角

Resource Price and Pollution: a Study Focusing on Industrial Emission in an Open Resource Market

社会生产和消费活动中的资源产品消耗在增进消费者效用的同时,也会伴随着污染排放,污染排放又会导致消费者效用水平的下降。在这两种效果的共同作用下,资源价格与污染排放的长期关系具有不确定性。本文从生产性排放的视角,在动态一般均衡框架下,研究了开放经济中资源性产品国际价格与污染排放之间的关系。基于理论模型的分析显示,稳定状态下的污染排放水平与资源中间品国际价格呈正比,基于80个能源进口国面板数据的经验分析也支持了上述结论。这意味着,在开放条件下资源品的高价并不能抑制污染排放。

The use of resource goods is always accompanied by pollution. So, whether it is consumed directly or input as intermediate goods in producing consumables, the use of resource goods always leads to both utility increase and utility de- crease. As a result of the two way effect, the relationship between resource price and pollution is indeterminate. This paper studies this issue in open economy with respect of industrial emission under a dynamic general equilibrium framework. The study concludes that the world price of resource intermediate good and long run pollution is positively correlated. This conclu- sion is also supported by the following empirical study based on a pool data of 80 energy importing counties dates. This study suggests that high level resource price cannot depress pollution in open economy. On the contrary, lower resource price leads to better environment.
