环境规制对高碳制造业绿色低碳发展的影响——基于数字技术的调节效应

The Impact of Environmental Regulation on the Green and Low-carbon Development of High Carbon Manufacturing Industry——Based on the Regulatory Effect of Digital Technology

数字技术发展有助于提升资源要素重组能力和提高环境规制效能水平,是推动经济高质量发展和实现“双碳”目标的新引擎。运用2006—2019年省级平衡面板数据,考察数字技术发展视阈下环境规制驱动高碳制造业绿色低碳发展的内在机制,实证分析数字技术对正式和非正式环境规制影响高碳制造业低碳转型的调节效应。研究结果显示:正式和非正式环境规制均能够倒逼高碳制造业企业进行绿色创新,促进高碳制造业绿色低碳发展;数字技术能够显著推动高碳制造业绿色低碳发展,增强正式和非正式环境规制对高碳制造业绿色低碳发展的促进作用;正式和非正式环境规制均对高碳制造业绿色低碳发展具有正向的空间溢出效应,且数字技术在这一过程中存在明显的调节作用。因此,可通过加大数字化技术的创新和应用、强化正式和非正式环境规制的倒逼作用、创新区域高碳制造业绿色发展的协同机制等政策措施,促进高碳制造业绿色低碳发展。

This paper examines the internal mechanism of environmental regulation driving the green and lowcarbon development of high-carbon manufacturing industry from the perspective of digital technology development,and empirically tests the regulatory effect of digital technology on the impact of formal and informal environmental regulation on the low-carbon transformation of high-carbon manufacturing industry.The results show that:(1)Both formal and informal environmental regulations can force high-carbon manufacturing enterprises to carry out green innovation and promote the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing;(2)Digital technology can significantly promote the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing,and enhance the role of formal and informal environmental regulations in promoting the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing;(3)Both formal and informal environmental regulations have positive spatial spillover effects on the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing,and digital technology has obvious moderating effects in this process.Therefore,the green,low-carbon and high-quality development of high-carbon manufacturing can be promoted by increasing the innovation and application of digital technology,strengthening the negative role of formal and informal environmental regulatory policies,and innovating the synergy mechanism for the green development of high-carbon manufacturing in regions.Compared with previous studies,the marginal contributions of this paper are as follows:(1)Considering the practical problems in manufacturing carbon emissions,high-carbon manufacturing is a specific sub-industry that contributes the most to carbon emissions in the traditional manufacturing category,and reasonably defining the connotation and scope of high-carbon manufacturing is the key to achieving the“dual carbon”goal and high-quality development;(2)Research on the mechanism and effect of formal and informal environmental regulation to drive the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing under the regulatory effect of digital technology;(3)Focusing on environmental regulation to promote the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing industry,the mechanism analysis.Investigate how digital technology can improve the efficiency of environmental regulation and promote the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing by enabling the digitalization of government environmental supervision and empowering the diversification of environmental regulation subjects;(4)Based on the dual dimensions of“empowerment”and“empowerment”of digital technology,studying the spatial spillover effect of environmental regulation on the green and low-carbon development of high-carbon manufacturing under the conditions of technology empowerment is of great significance to cross the digital divide and promote the deep integration of digital economy and manufacturing transformation and development,and provide policy reference for accelerating the coordinated promotion of green and low-carbon development of manufacturing industry across regions.
