经济增长、制度环境与大气污染——基于省级面板数据的实证检验

Economic Growth,Institutional Environment and Atmosphere Pollution——An Empirical Test Based on Interprovincial Panel Data of China

本文基于2002—2012年省级面板数据,实证检验了经济增长对大气污染的影响,并考察了制度环境对经济增长与大气污染之间关系的调节作用。研究结果表明,经济增长与地区大气污染呈倒"U"形关系;公众参与治理和环境规制负向调节经济增长与大气污染排放之间的关系。本文研究丰富了大气污染排放、环境治理方面的研究成果,这为转型经济时期改变政府激励方向和激励方式,为地区环境治理、政府环境绩效审计及其问责等方面指定政策提供经验证据。

Based on the panel data of 31 provinces and municipalities in China from 2002 to 2012,we theoretically and empirically examine the influence of economic growth on atmospheric pollution and study the adjusting role in the relation between institutional environment and economic growth and atmosphere pollution. The research results show that economic growth and regional atmosphere pollution demonstrate the inverted U shape relation,and that public participation governance and environment regulation negatively adjust the relation between economic growth and atmosphere emission. This paper enriches the research results in the perspective of atmosphere pollution emission and environment treatment and provides experience basis for making policies in the aspects of changing incentive direction and incentive method of the government in the transformation period,regional environment treatment,governmental environment performance audit and responsibility and so on.
