Effect and optimization of environmental administrative punishment under deterrence target
Deterrence is the core goal of the environmental administrative punishment system.The current research on the deterrent effect of environmental administrative punishment is not deep enough.Because the simple legal research ignores the empirical test of the deterrent effect of environmental administrative punishment,its conclusions could not provide a solid support for improving the system.Based on 736 microcosmic data on the rectification of punishment imposed on key national monitoring enterprises and key polluters from the first quarter of 2016 to the second quarter of 2019,binary Logit and orderly Logit models were established to investigate the deterrent effect of different types of environmental administrative punishments on polluters.It was found that reputation penalty and low amount of property penalty did not produce significant deterrent effect,while high property penalty and behavior penalty had substantial impact on emission reduction decision-making and had deterrent effect.In order to enhance the deterrent effect of reputation penalty and property penalty,cumulative conversion of environmental warning and environmental penalty integrating the function of illegal gains confiscation should be established.
