Environmental information disclosure is an important tool for government environmental governance.Based on the"institutional logics-embedding degree"framework,this study uses the panel data of 104 key environmental protection cities in China from 2013 to 2018 to identify the multiple influ-encing factors and generation paths of government environmental information disclosure through a mixed research method.The re-sults show that government environmental information disclosure is not dominated by a single institutional logic,but the result of the interaction among bureaucracy,market,social logics and the embedding degree of government.Among them,the conditions of peer competition,enterprise demand and public attention have a more significant promoting effect on government environmental information disclosure.The generation path of high performance of government environmental information disclosure can be divid-ed into"multiple institutional logics-driven"and"institutional logics and independent embedding-coupling".In the future,ef-forts can be made to enhance the performance of environmental information disclosure.
