Abstract

Abstract Based on the panel data of eleven provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China from 2008 to 2018, both the optimization index of the industrial structure and environmental performance indexes are calculated. Then, the impact of industrial structure optimization on the improvement of ecological environmental performance was investigated by applying the static panel model and threshold model. The results show that the optimization of the industrial structure of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has a significant role in promoting the improvement of environmental performance in general. Still, the rationalization of the industrial structure has a single threshold effect. The upgrading of regional industrial structure in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the rationalization of regional industrial structure in the Yangtze River's upper reaches are more conducive to improving ecological environment performance. Therefore, in the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the downstream region should strengthen scientific and technological innovation, strive to break through the core and critical technologies, and mainly build clean and efficient green service industries.

中国长江经济带环境绩效改善与产业结构优化：共同前进还是相互制约？

摘要基于2008 - 2018年中国长江经济带11个省市的面板数据，计算了产业结构优化指数和环境绩效指数。然后，运用静态面板模型和阈值模型研究产业结构优化对生态环境绩效改善的影响。研究结果表明，长江经济带产业结构优化对整体环境绩效提升具有显著的促进作用。然而，产业结构合理化具有单一门槛效应。长江中游区域产业结构升级和长江上游区域产业结构合理化更有利于生态环境绩效的改善。因此，在长江经济带产业结构转型升级中，下游区域应加强科技创新，努力突破核心和关键技术，重点打造清洁高效的绿色服务业。
