Abstract

This paper uses the panel data of 275 prefecture-level cities in China in 2003–2019 and spatial Durbin model to verify the impact of environmental regulation and industrial agglomeration on air pollution. This paper finds that the enforcement intensity of environmental regulations (ER) is not consistent among cities. The effects of strict ER on air pollution in local city are the inverted-U-shape curve. The effects of more stringent ER in adjacent cities j on air pollution in city i are the U-shape curve. The more stringent ER in local city may lead to the decrease in agglomeration of manufacturing sectors (AM), thereby reducing air pollution. The polluting firms may shift production from neighboring cities j with stringent ER to city i with lax ER, thereby leading to the increase in AM, which aggravate air pollution in city i. The more stringent ER in local city i may lead to the increase in agglomeration of productive service industry (AS), thereby reducing air pollution. To avoid the transfer of polluting industrial sectors, the paper suggests that the more stringent implementation of ER should become nationwide actions.

环境规制与产业集聚对大气污染的影响:基于空间溢出视角

本文利用 2003-2019 年中国 275 个地级市的面板数据和空间杜宾模型，验证了环境规制和产业集聚对大气污染的影响。本文发现，不同城市的环境规制（ER）执行强度并不一致。严格的环境规制对当地城市空气污染的影响呈倒 U 型曲线。相邻城市 j 更严格的环境法规对城市 i 空气污染的影响为 U 型曲线。本地城市更严格的减排要求可能会导致制造业集聚（AM）的减少，从而降低空气污染。污染企业可能会将生产从ER严格的邻近城市j转移到ER宽松的城市i，从而导致AM增加，加剧城市i的空气污染。为避免污染工业部门的转移，本文建议更严格地实施减排应成为全国性行动。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (IJEST) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of environmental science and technology, innovation, engineering and management. A broad outline of the journal''s scope includes: peer reviewed original research articles, case and technical reports, reviews and analyses papers, short communications and notes to the editor, in interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental science and technology, both natural and man made. The main aspects of research areas include, but are not exclusive to; environmental chemistry and biology, environments pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil, point and non-point sources pollution, heavy metals and organic compounds in the environment, atmospheric pollutants and trace gases, solid and hazardous waste management; soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites; environmental impact assessment, industrial ecology, ecological and human risk assessment; improved energy management and auditing efficiency and environmental standards and criteria.
