环境规制与制造业产业结构升级——影响机理及实证分析

Environmental Regulation and Manufacturing’s Upgrading——Mechanism and Empirical Test

本文以2005～2017年中国省域制造业面板数据为样本进行分析,发现环境规制抑制中国制造业的产业结构升级。区域异质性的实证结果显示,环境规制对中国东部地区制造业产业结构升级存在一定的正向影响;环境规制对中部和西部地区制造业产业结构升级具有负向影响。鉴于此,东、中、西部地区宜采取差异性的环境规制政策,从而更有利于制造业的产业结构升级。

This paper analyzes the influence of environmental regulation on manufacturing’ upgrading by using Chinese provincial panel data from 2005 to 2017. In general, the results show that environmental regulation has significant or negative effect on manufacturing’s upgrading. And because of the difference of regional development in China, environmental regulation has positive not significant effect on manufacturing’s upgrading in the eastern region, while the effect is negative in the central and western regions. Therefore, in order to achieve manufacturing’s upgrading, the government should implement differential environmental regulation policies in different regions.
