摘要

摘要中国制造业产能过剩，包括污染密集型产业，是“一带一路”倡议倡议的重要动因。因此，流行的污染港假说（PHH）预计，这一举措将导致污染行业从中国转移到受援国。关注地方政府的实施情况，我们认为“一带一路”倡议的实际结果取决于地方政府和企业根据自己的偏好对“一带一步”倡议的反应方式。通过调查行业对“一带一路”倡议的实际反应，我们发现污染密集型行业并没有搬迁，而是扩大了对“一带”倡议国家的出口。这有两个含义：一方面，它缓解了中国的产能过剩问题，有助于维持该行业的经济表现；另一方面，它导致了中国境内更多的污染，并加剧了中国面临的环境挑战。

LOCALIZED IMPLEMENTATION: ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE IN CHINA

Abstract China's overcapacities in manufacturing industries, including pollution-intensive industries, served as an important motivation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The popular Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) therefore expects that the initiative will lead to the relocation of polluting industries from China to the recipients. Focusing on the implementation by local governments, we argue that actual outcomes of the BRI depend on the way local states and businesses respond to the BRI in accordance with their preferences. Through investigating industries’ actual responses to the BRI, we found that pollution-intensive industries have not relocated but rather expanded exports to the BRI countries. This has two implications: on the one hand, it alleviates the overcapacity issue in China and helps sustain the economic performance of the industry; on the other hand, it results in more pollution within Chinese borders and aggravates the environmental challenges facing the country.
