地方政府环境规制对全要素能源效率影响——基于新疆面板数据的实证研究

Impacts of the local government's environmental regulation on the total factor energy efficiency-based on the Panel data of Xinjiang

一直以来,提高能源效率和治理环境污染是政府和学术界普遍关注的问题。传统观点认为,政府的环境规制增加了企业生产成本,抑制了能源效率的提高;而"波特假说"的观点认为,环境规制激发了企业的技术创新,提高了能源效率。那么在工业相对落后的新疆,政府的环境规制究竟对能源效率会产生怎样的影响呢?文中在系统分析了政府环境规制对能源消耗影响的作用机理后,以新疆14个地州2003-2010年的时间序列数据的SFA模型实证检验了新疆政府环境规制对其全要素能源效率的影响。检验结果表明:新疆政府环境规制产生了能源的非效率,政府环境污染治理投资和环境基础设施投资都会抑制能源的效率,而资源税却提高了能源效率,从而使得"波特假说"的观点在新疆表现的不是很明显;最后,在上述基础上,结合新疆资源与环境的实际情况提出了相关政策建议。

All along, improving energy efficiency and controlling environmental pollution are the concerning problems of government and academia. Traditionally it is believed the governmentg environmental regulation may increase the production cost of the enterprise and inhibit the energy efficiency. While ＂Potterg hypothesis＂ prefer the view that environmental regulation stimulates the enterprise~ technical innovation, so it can improve energy efficiency. Based on the 2003 -2010 data of Xinjiang, the parameters of SFA model was applied to verify the effects of environmental regulation of the Xinjiang government to the total factor energy efficiency. The results show that the governmentg investment in environmental pollution and infrastructure construction investment can inhibit the energy efficiency, while the resource tax can promote it, which makes the point of view of the ＂Porter Hypothesis＂ performance unobvious. At last, on the basis of the above, combined with the actual situation of Xinjiang resources and environment, the relevant policy recommendations were put forward.
