Global Value Chain,National Value Chain and Enterprises'Green Development
Promoting harmonious coexistence between human and nature is the essential requirement of Chinese modernization.Investigating the relationship between participating in value chains and environmental pollution is an im-portant basis for achieving green development.We use the matching data of Chinese Industrial Enterprises Database,Chinese Industrial Enterprise Pollution Emissions Database,the Interregional Input-Output Tables of China and the World Input-Output Tables to investigate the impact and the influence mechanism of participating in the global value chain on the enterprise pollution emission intensity,and examine the moderating effect of participating in the national val-ue chain on the environmental pollution dilemma brought about by participating in the global value chain.On this basis,this paper aims to explore the relationship between global value chains,national value chains and enterprise's green de-velopment.The study finds that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the global value chain participation and the enterprise pollution emission intensity,with most of the samples not yet exceeding the inflection point value of the global value chain participation,which mainly shows the effect of increasing environmental pollution.The mecha-nism test shows that the global value chain participation can affect the enterprise pollution emission intensity by promoting green technology progress from the front-end pollution control perspective and investment in pollution treatment from the end-of-pipe pollution treatment perspective.Further analysis shows that increasing the national value chain participation can help alleviate the environmental pollution dilemma brought about by participating in the global value chain by making the inverted U-shaped curve steeper,shifting the inflection point to the left,and moving the curve downwards,which can promote green development.The conclusions provide new ideas for the adjustment of value chain embedding strate-gies to achieve a win-win situation in terms of economic growth and green development under the new development pat-tern.
