Market Competition,Mixed Ownership Reform and Pollution Reduction
This study conducted an empirical study on the pollution reduction effect of state-owned enterprises'mixed reform,and tested the impact of market competition among them.It was found that:(1)The mixed ownership reform of SOEs has significantly reduced the emission intensity of industrial COD and smoke,but has not significantly reduced the emission intensity of SO2.(2)The more intense the market competition in the industry where the enterprise is located,the more significant the emission reduc-tion effect of the mixed ownership reform on industrial COD and smoke.(3)Mechanism analysis shows that the channel of pro-ductivity improvement,management efficiency improvement and energy efficiency improvement is significant.In addition,mixed-ownership reform is more effective in improving productivity and management efficiency and reducing energy consumption per unit of output in industries with fierce competition.According to relevant conclusions,this study proposes to continue to promote the mixed ownership reform of SOEs,promote the complementarity of state-owned capital and non-state-owned capital,and create a fair competition market environment,provide institutional guarantee for enterprises to actively govern the environment.
