地方政府行为对工业能源环境效率的影响——以“一带一路”沿线省市区为例

IMPACTS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL BEHAVIORS ON INDUSTRIAL ENERGY ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY ALONG“THE BELT AND ROAD”PROVINCES/CITIES

我国工业发展过程中能源消费总量大,环境污染较为严重,能源使用效率有待提高。以2010—2020“一带一路”沿线省市区工业为研究对象,结合内生增长理论和高质量发展的现实要求,构建全局非径向方向距离函数(global non-radial directional distance function,GNDDF),测算“一带一路”沿线省市区工业能源环境效率。基于面板Tobit模型对工业能源环境效率与地方政府经济干预、地方政府经济竞争、地方政府创新偏向和地方政府环保偏向之间的内在联系展开研究,探讨不同地方政府行为对能源环境效率的影响。研究结果表明:工业能源环境效率呈现“海上丝绸之路>沿线平均水平>丝绸之路经济带”的次序分布;各支线工业能源环境效率依“东南线>西南线>东北线>平均水平>西北线”的次序分布;地方政府经济干预和经济竞争对工业能源环境效率会产生负面影响,地方政府创新偏向和环保偏向的提高有利于促进工业能源环境效率;当地方政府经济干预强度下降时,地方政府经济竞争和地方政府环保偏向对工业能源环境效率的影响显著由负转为正,地方政府创新偏向对工业能源环境效率的作用会增强但不显著。总体来看,推进简政放权、优化地方政府的服务职能有利于提高工业能源环境效率。

China has a big energy consumption during industrialization,leading to severe environmental pollution,which requires an improving energy use efficiency.This paper,based on“the Belt and Road”provinces/cities'2010 to 2020 industries,uses intrinsic growth theory and quality development demand to establish a global non-radial directional distance function(GNDDF),which is employed to estimate the industrial energy environmental efficiency along“the Belt and Road”provinces/cities.Tobit model is applied to study the inner connection of industrial energy environmental efficiency and local governmental interventions,local governmental economic competition,local governmental preference on innovation and on environmental protection,and to discuss the impacts of governmental behaviors on industrial energy environmental efficiency.Industrial energy environmental efficiency shows a distribution order of“oceanic silk road>average>the silk road economic zone”,and an order of“southeast line>southwest line>northeast line>average>northwest line”on the side lines.Local governmental economic interventions and economic competition adversely affect industrial energy environmental efficiency,but their preference on innovation and environmental protection work positively.When their interventions are decreasing in intensity,the impacts will largely switch from negative to positive,increasingly but not outstandingly.This paper presents suggestions on simplifying governance,empowering,optimizing local governmental functions for increasing industrial energy environmental efficiency.
