Pollution Reduction Effects of Environmental Regulation,Mechanisms and Resource Reallocation Effects
To promote the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature with Chinese-style modernization,it is necessary to promote the prevention and control of environmental pollution in depth with the help of environmental regulation,to realize the synergy between enterprise pollution reduction and efficiency improvement and promote the green transformation of the mode of economic development.Based on the micro data of Chinese manufacturing enterprises from 1998 to 2014,this paper utilized the quasi-natural experiment of cleaner production standard implementation to test the pollution reduction effect and mechanism of environmental regulation.Benchmarking results show that the implementation of cleaner production standards significantly reduces the sulfur dioxide pollution emission intensity of enterprises in the sample period.Mechanism analysis shows that the implementation of cleaner production standards fails to significantly promote improvements in energy efficiency by promoting end-of-pipe management of enterprises to achieve pollution reduction,rather than by improving enterprise-neutral and energy-biased technological progress.Analysis based on the industry perspective shows that the implementation of cleaner production standards does not significantly reduce pollution by promoting the entry and exit of enterprises and promoting the reallocation of resources among enterprises.This paper provides empirical evidence and policy implications for utilizing the existing eco-environmental system to promote the synergy between pollution reduction and carbon reduction and accelerate the green transformation of economic development.
