河长制的环境与经济双重红利效应研究——基于长江经济带河长制政策实施的准自然实验

An Empirical Study on the Double Dividend Effect of Environment and Economy of the River Chief Policy一A Quasi-Natural Experiment Based on the Implementation of the River Length System Policy in the Yangtze River Economie Belt

基于长江经济带河长制政策的准自然实验,实证检验了河长制的环境与经济双重红利效应。结果发现:河长制在减少环境污染的同时短期内会抑制地区的经济发展,但长期能够实现双重红利。机制检验结果表明,河长制会提升地区的环境规制水平,迫使地区污染产业转移、关停和产业结构升级,进而影响地区的环境保护和经济发展。

Based on the quasi-natural experiment of the RCP in the Y angtze River Economie Belt,this paper empirically tests the double dividend effect of environment and economy of the river chief policy.Result shows that,the RCP reduces environmental pollution while restraining regional economic development in the short term,but it can achieve double dividends in the long run.The mechanism test results also show that the RCP will improve regional environmental regulation,forcing the transfer,closure,and upgrading of the industrial structure of polluting industries in the region,which will affeet environmental protection and economic development of the region.
