Abstract

Environmental regulation is an effective tool to control environmental problems caused by foreign trade. Research conclusions are inconsistent on the relationship between environmental regulations and exports. Based on the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model, this paper provides an empirical analysis for examination the effect of environmental regulations on manufacturing exports, adopting panel data of 16 sectors from China’s manufacturing during 2005-2015. Material capital, human capital, technology input and foreign direct investment are simultaneously selected as independent variables to explore the export impact of corresponding changes in these endowments. The pollution intensity index was introduced to categorise different manufacturing sectors. Results indicated that China’s environmental regulations intensity play different roles in the manufacturing sectors with different pollution levels. Stricter environmental regulation improves the export of intensive pollution manufacturing sectors but hinders exports in light pollution sectors. Meanwhile, other endowment factors also exert varying effects in the light, moderate and intensive pollution manufacturing sectors.

环境法规对制造业出口有影响吗？来自中国制造业的经验证据

环境规制是治理对外贸易环境问题的有效工具。环境规制与出口关系的研究结论并不一致。本文基于Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek模型，采用2005-2015年中国制造业16个部门的面板数据，对环境规制对制造业出口的影响进行实证分析。同时选取物质资本、人力资本、技术投入和外国直接投资作为自变量，探讨这些禀赋相应变化对出口的影响。引入污染强度指数对不同的制造业进行分类。结果表明，中国环境规制强度在不同污染程度的制造业中发挥着不同的作用。更严格的环境管制改善了污染严重的制造业部门的出口，但阻碍了轻污染部门的出口。同时，其他禀赋因素对轻、中、重度污染制造业的影响也不尽相同。
