公众参与对水污染指数的影响分析——基于2007~2017年省级面板模型的实证研究

Analysis of the Impact of Public Participation on the Water Pollution Index——Empirical Research Based on the 2007~2017 Provincial Panel Model

基于2007~2017年中国省级面板数据,实证研究了公众参与对水污染指数的影响效果,以及不同地区公众参与对水污染指数的影响。研究发现,总体上来说公众参与指数对水污染指数有着显著的影响,公众参与度的提高能够显著抑制水污染指数的提高。其中,公众参与对东部地区的水污染指数的影响比较显著,而对中、西部地区只有公众信访量对水污染指数的影响显著。此外,可以看到地方政府颁布的法律法规对水污染指数的影响并不显著,而地区教育水平和地区经济发展水平对水污染的影响则显著。

Based on China’s provincial panel data from 2007 to 2017, empirical research is conducted on the impact of public participation on the water pollution index and the impact of public participation in different regions on the water pollution index. The study found that, in general, the public participation index has a significant impact on the water pollution index, and the increase in public participation can significantly inhibit the increase in the water pollution index. Among them, public participation has a significant impact on the water pollution index in the eastern region, while for the central and western regions, only the volume of public letters and visits has a significant impact on the water pollution index. In addition, it can be seen that the laws and regulations promulgated by the local government have no significant impact on the water pollution index, while the regional education level and regional economic development level have a significant impact on water pollution.
