环境规制、技术进步与中国经济发展——基于DMSP/OLS夜间灯光校正数据的实证研究

Environmental Regulation,Technological Progress and China's Economic Development——An Empirical Study Based on DMSP/OLS Night Light Imageries

本文以DMSP/OLS夜间灯光校正数据代替GDP衡量我国经济发展质量,运用空间面板数据回归模型对"波特假说"进行经验考察。研究结果表明,中国经济发展呈现典型的空间集聚与空间溢出特征,环境规制通过增加企业生产成本抑制地区经济发展,同时通过刺激技术进步提高地区经济发展质量。但环境规制对邻近地区的经济发展存在显著的负向空间溢出效应,且"创新补偿"的空间溢出效应并不明显。

This paper uses DMSP/OLS night lighting imageries instead of GDP to measure the quality of China s economic development,and uses the spatial panel data regression model to empirically examine the“Potter hypothesis”.The results show that China s economic development demonstrates typical characteristics of spatial agglomeration and spatial spillover.Environmental regulation can reduce the economic development of the region by increasing the production costs of enterprises,and also improve the quality of regional economic development by stimulating technological progress.However,the environmental regulation has a significant negative spatial spillover effect on the economic development of adjacent areas,and the spatial spillover effect of the innovation compensation effect is not obvious.
