财政分权、环境污染与地区经济增长——基于112个地级市面板数据的实证计量

Fiscal Decentralization,Environmental Pollution and Regional Economic Growth——Empirical Data from 112 Cities at Prefecture Level in China

基于财政分权视角，以2003—2013年中国112个地级市面板数据为研究样本构建联立方程，探讨城市级层经济增长和环境污染之间的关系。结果表明：财政分权、工业化水平的提高促进城市经济增长的同时，也会加剧城市环境污染的严重程度；人均GDP与工业SO2排放量和工业废水排放量分别呈倒N型、负相关关系；外资的引入对经济增长的影响并不确定，但能改善环境质量。

Based on fiscal decentralization perspective, using 112 cities of China at prefecture level 2003 ~ 2013 panel data, this paper conducts an empirical study on the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution by construc- ting simultaneous equation. The conclusion shows that, improving fiscal decentralization and the level of industrialization of city promotes economic growth, and it would also exacerbate the severity of urban environmental pollution ; the relationship between per capita GDP and industrial SO2 emissions is inverted N-type,and the relationship between per capita GDP and industrial water is negative correlation; the introduction of foreign investment impacting on economic growth is uncertain, but it can improve the quality of the environment.
