“绿色悖论”内涵、产生机制与对策:一个文献综述

The Connotation,Mechanism and Countermeasures of Green Paradox:a Literature Review

“绿色悖论”(Green Paradox)自2008年被德国依佛经济研究所(Ifo Institute for Economic Research)主席汉斯-沃尔纳·辛恩(Hans-Werner Sinn)提出以来,在欧洲环境经济学界掀起了一阵研究风潮。“绿色悖论”假说指出以减排为目的的环境政策可能反而导致污染排放的增加,从而对环境政策的有效性提出质疑。这对于当前环境压力巨大、致力于改善环境和保持可持续发展的中国而言,既是警钟,又意义重大。本文全面梳理了近年来相关研究的已有文献(包括已发表的文献和未发表的“灰色”文献),从“绿色悖论”的内涵、产生机制和应对政策等方面对现有研究取得的成果、存在的问题和未来发展的方向进行了介绍和评述,并探讨了“绿色悖论”对中国可持续发展和环境政策实施的借鉴意义。

Since brought up by Hans-Werner Sinn,the chairman of Ifo Institute for Economic Research,in 2008,Green Paradox has become a blazing topic in European environment economics.This hypothesis points out that well-intended environmental policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission may lead to the increase of pollutant emission,thus the effectiveness of environmental policy is questioned.This viewpoint sounds an alarm bell and means a lot to China,which has been adapting into improving environment and maintaining sustainable development in face of great environment pressures.This paper presents a comprehensive review of the relative researches(including published literatures and unpublished gray literatures) in recent years.We introduce the achievements of current researches from the aspects of connotation,mechanism and countermeasures of Green Paradox,then we point out the existing problems and future development on the study of Green Paradox.Moreover,we discuss the policy implications for environment policies and sustainable development of China from Green Paradox.
