环境规制是否促进了包容性绿色增长?

Does Environmental Regulation Promote Inclusive Green Growth?

本文利用2010~2020年中国30个省市的面板数据,采用SBM-DEA模型测度包容性绿色增长效率值,借助随机效应模型实证考察了东中西部地区环境规制对包容性绿色增长的作用机制,并进一步借助门槛回归模型深入探讨环境规制对包容性绿色增长的门槛特征。研究发现:① 环境规制对包容性绿色增长的抑制作用大于促进作用。② 东部地区环境规制通过促进减贫、减少收入差距以及保护环境来促进包容性绿色发展,但其对经济增长的不利影响导致环境规制对整体包容性绿色增长产生阻碍;中西部地区环境规制通过助力经济增长促进包容性绿色发展,但其也通过加大收入分配差距来抑制包容性绿色增长。③ 环境规制对包容性绿色增长的影响呈现出倒U型的变化趋势,在相对宽松合理的环境规制水平下,环境规制有利于促进包容性绿色增长,当环境规制过于严厉时,达到一定门槛值时,环境规制则会对包容性绿色增长起阻碍作用。基于此,提出设置合理的环境规制政策体系,兼顾经济增长、社会公平、环境保护协调发展。

This paper uses panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020, on the basis of using SBM-DEA model to measure the efficiency value of inclusive green growth, it empirically investigates the action mechanism of environmental regulation on inclusive green growth in the eastern, central and western regions by using random effect model, and further discusses the threshold characteristics of environmental regulation on inclusive green growth with the help of threshold regression model. The results show that: ① Environmental regulation has a greater inhibitory effect than a promoting effect on inclusive green growth. ② Environmental regulation in the eastern region promotes inclusive green development by promoting poverty reduction, reducing income gap and protecting the environment, but its adverse impact on economic growth hinders the overall inclusive green growth;Environmental regulation in the central and western regions promotes inclusive green development by increasing economic growth, but it also inhibits inclusive green growth by increasing the income distribution gap. ③ The impact of environmental regulation on inclusive green growth shows an inverted U-shaped change trend. Under the relatively reasonable level of environmental regulation, environmental regulation is conducive to promoting inclusive green growth. When environmental regulation is too strict and reaches a certain threshold, environmental regulation will hinder inclusive green growth. Based on this, it is proposed to set up a reasonable environmental regulation policy system, taking into account the coordinated development of economic growth, social equity and environmental protection.
