Environmental Effects of Green Development of the Reform of the Household Registration System in the Construction of New Urbanization:An Empirical Analysis Based on a Multi-period Double-difference Model
High-quality new-type urbanization development is the starting point for realizing rural ecological revitalization and urban and rural green development.If the new-type urbanization,including the reform of household registration system,implements the concept of green development and promotes people's green life and production methods,it will definitely pro-duce positive environmental effects of green development.This paper constructs a quasi-natural experiment based on the reform of household registration system implemented in the new urbaniza-tion construction of some provinces in China,adopts a multi-period double-difference model to test the actual impact of population urbanization on the atmospheric environment,and explores the environmental effects of population urbanization and its role in green development.The study finds that:First,the reform of the household registration system significantly improves the atmospheric environment,and its inhibitory effect on the annual average PM2.5 concentration in the experi-mental group is about 2.466 μg/m3.The above basic conclusions are still established after a com-prehensive robustness test including PSM-DID,placebo test,and instrumental variables.Second,the reform of household registration system mainly improves the atmospheric environment through residents'green consumption awareness and green technology innovation channels for enterprises.Third,the improvement effect of the reform of household registration system on air pol-lution is only effective in the short term,and has no improvement effect in the long run.The im-provement effect of the policy is mainly concentrated in the eastern region,but not significant in the central and western regions.Fourth,using the SDM-DID model test,it is found that the house-hold registration system reform policy has spillover effects on surrounding areas,and the policy spillover effect is greater than the direct effect of the policy.In view of this,local governments should adhere to the concept of green development and adhere to both new urbanization and rural revitalization.At the same time,It suggests to provide supporting technical and financial support to the central and western regions with relatively weak comprehensive strength,accelerate the promo-tion of local agricultural green production,and strengthen the green development education on rural populations.In addition,local governments should also actively explore the establishment of a joint prevention and control mechanism for air pollution,establish and improve cross-departmental and cross-regional collaborative organizations,and strengthen the reform of household registration system.Strengthening the positive externalities of the reform will conduce to achieve harmonious u-nity of high-quality economic growth and environmental protection.
