产业结构、环境规制与环境质量——基于中国省际视角的理论与实证分析

Industrial Structure,Environmental Regulation and Environment Quality--Theory and Evidence Based on Provincial Panel Data of China

产业结构的区域差异将引致不同环境规制工具改善环境质量的效果出现差别。本文通过理论研究提出假设:在产业结构低级化地区,命令控制型环境规制工具改善环境质量的效果最好,市场激励型工具次之,信息披露和公众参与型规制工具再次之;而在产业结构高级化地区,信息披露和公众参与型规制工具改善环境质量的效果最佳,市场激励型工具次之,命令控制型工具再次之。本文采用2004-2016年中国30个省份的面板数据进行实证分析,并通过稳健性检验进一步证明这一结论。

Regional diversity of industrial structure will result in difference of the effect of different environmental regulation instruments on improving environmental quality.Based on theory analysis,this paper analyzes the panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2004 to2016 with exemplifications and draws the conclusion that:for the regions with less advanced industrial structure,the command control tool works the best with the market incentive tool and the information disclosure and public participation tool working the second and third best.On the contrary,in the regions with more advanced industrial structure,the information disclosure and public participation tool ranks the first in the effect of improving environmental quality,with the market incentive tool ranking the second,and the command control tool ranking the last.This conclusion is verified by the empirical results and robustness test in this paper.
