Abstract

Controlling pollutant emissions around political boundaries remains a challenging issue. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the top-down environmental quality monitoring policy of automatic air quality monitoring stations in managing boundary pollution. Using firm-level pollution data between 2007 and 2014 and a staggered difference-in-differences design, the results demonstrate that central government-implemented air quality monitoring stations effectively reduce emissions around political boundaries. Key mechanisms driving this reduction include enhanced government motivation and regional governments’ collaborative pollution prevention. This study underscores the critical role of top-down environmental policies in addressing boundary pollution challenges.

自上而下的环境质量调控与边界污染控制：以中国边界城镇为例

在政治边界之外控制污染物排放仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题。本研究评估自顶向下空气质量自动监测站环境质量监测政策在边界污染管理中的有效性。利用2007年至2014年的企业污染数据和交错差中差设计，结果表明，中央政府实施的空气质量监测站有效地减少了政治边界附近的排放。推动这一减少的关键机制包括政府动机的增强和区域政府的协同污染防治。这项研究强调了自上而下的环境政策在解决边界污染挑战方面的关键作用。
