财政科教支出与雾霾污染治理的空间关联效应

Spatial Relevance Effect of Fiscal Technology and Education Expenditure on Haze Pollution

基于财政科技支出和教育支出的视角,采用2004—2017年中国地级及以上城市的数据,通过空间面板模型实证检验了财政科教支出同雾霾污染治理之间的关系。研究结果表明:科技支出和教育支出能有效抑制雾霾污染,科技支出的效果要优于教育支出,且均存在一定的滞后效应。分区域检验结果显示:财政科教支出对雾霾污染治理的影响具有区域异质性,呈现由东至西依次减弱的效应。因此,现阶段要落实地方政府在环境保护方面的主体责任,充分发挥地方公共财政支出的作用。

The Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China for the first time regards beautiful China as an important goal of building a strong socialist modernization country,and regards strengthening environmental protection as an opportunity and an important grasp to promote economic and social development and ecological environment protection.The governance of environmental pollution is closely related to the fiscal expenditure of local governments.Based on the perspective of fiscal technology and education expenditure,this paper empirically examines the relationship between fiscal technology and education expenditure and haze pollution by using the data of 273 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2004 to 2017 through the spatial panel model.The results show that fiscal technology expenditure and education expenditure are negatively correlated with haze pollution intensity,and the effect of technology research expenditure in haze treatment is better than that of education expenditure.The results of sub-regional show that the impact of fiscal technology and education expenditure on haze pollution has regional heterogeneity,showing a weakening situation from east to west.From the perspective of the whole country,there is a certain lag effect on the impact of fiscal technology expenditure and education expenditure on haze pollution.Therefore,the key point at this stage is implementing the main responsibility of local governments in environmental protection,giving full play to the role of local public fiscal expenditure.
