环境保护制度建设与民营企业环保投入研究

The Institutional Construction of Environmental Protection and the Environmental Investment of Private Enterprises in China

基于全国民营企业调查数据(2012),采用制度同构理论,系统考察了强制性、规范性和模仿性因素对民营企业环保投入的影响。结果显示省区环境规制对企业环保投入有强制性同构,二者关系为倒U型,中国绝大部分省区位于曲线左侧。这表明考察政府规制的曲线刺激效应非常重要。结果进一步显示企业环保投入不存在规范性同构,而模仿性同构非常明显。本研究总体表明中国企业的制度同构特征不同于北美组织,推进了制度同构理论的研究。

Based on a survey of private enterprises in China in 2012,this paper adopts the approach of institutional isomorphism to systematically examine the influence of the coercive,normative and mimetic factors on the environmental investment of private enterprises.The results show that the impact of environmental regulation at provincial level is nonlinear,that is,in the shape of a inversed U,which indicates mandatory isomorphism.It is also found that the vast majority of provinces in China lies in the left side of the curve,which means that it is very important to examine the nonlinear effect of governmental regulation.According to the results,instead of normative isomorphism,there is strong evidence of mimetic isomorphism.Overall,the paper advances the study on institutional isomorphism by revealing that the institutional isomorphism characteristic of Chinese enterprises is different from that of North American ones.
