异质性环境规制、技术创新与经济高质量发展

Heterogeneous Environmental Regulation, Technological Innovation and High-quality Economic Development

文章利用2008—2019年中国31个省份的省级面板数据,运用两步系统GMM和中介效应模型考察了异质性环境规制、技术创新对经济高质量发展的影响。结果表明:从全国来看,费用型环境规制与命令控制型环境规制均能通过提升技术创新水平来缓解对高质量发展的阻碍作用,而公众参与型环境规制可以通过技术创新发挥的正向中介效应进一步扩大对高质量发展的促进作用;分区域来看,两区域费用型、公众参与型和命令控制型环境规制对经济高质量发展的影响系数均显著,但影响方向相反,且均是中西部地区受影响程度小于东部地区;技术创新的部分中介效应均存在,但在作用方向上存在区域差异。

Based on the provincial panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2008 to 2019, this paper examines the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation and technological innovation on high-quality economic development by the use of two-step system GMM and a mediating effect model. The results show that, from a national perspective, both the cost-based environmental regulation and the command-and-control environmental regulation can alleviate the hindrance to high-quality development by promoting technological innovation level, while the environmental regulation with public participation can further expand its promoting effect on high-quality development through the positive mediating effect of technological innovation;that from the perspective of different regions, the impact coefficients of the cost-based, public participation-typed and command-and-control environmental regulations on high-quality economic development in the two regions are all significant, but the impact directions are opposite, with the impact degree of central and western regions smaller than that of eastern regions;and that part of mediating effects of technological innovation exists, but there are regional differences in effect directions.
