Abstract

Is it possible for the imposition of environmental regulation to develop the textile industry? Is it possible to balance quality and efficiency with energy conservation and emission reduction and achieve the sustainable development of the textile industry? The main objective of this study is to analyze the effects of the environmental regulation on industrial agglomeration and industrial efficiency within the textile sector. The findings reveal that, first, environmental regulation has significantly facilitated the agglomeration of the textile industry to regions with less stringent environmental standards. The restructuring and optimization of domestic value chains have also been promoted. Second, environmental policies in the process of the promotion of the industrial agglomeration are accompanied by a significant improvement in industrial efficiency. This improvement has contributed to the achievement of sustainability goals in the textile domain. Third, the influence of environmental regulations on industrial agglomeration and industrial efficiency improvement of the textile industry is strongly heterogeneous in terms of ownership. This impact is more significant in state-owned industries and private industries. This study holds substantial theoretical significance and practical relevance in promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable progress in the Chinese textile industry.

环境规制、产业集聚与中国纺织工业可持续发展

是否有可能通过实施环境法规来发展纺织工业?能否在质量、效率和节能减排之间取得平衡，实现纺织工业的可持续发展?本研究的主要目的是分析环境规制对纺织行业产业集聚和产业效率的影响。研究结果表明:第一，环境规制显著促进了纺织产业向环境标准不太严格的地区集聚;国内价值链的重组和优化也得到了推进。第二，环境政策在促进产业集聚的过程中，伴随着产业效率的显著提升。这一改进有助于实现纺织领域的可持续发展目标。第三，环境规制对纺织产业集聚和产业效率提升的影响在所有制上具有很强的异质性。这种影响在国有工业和私营工业中更为显著。本研究对于促进中国纺织工业的环境友好和可持续发展具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。
