摘要

本文调查了污染密集型产业在经济衰退时期是否发展得更快。利用2005年至2013年的企业层面面板数据，我们对2008年经济危机中的中国制造业进行了实证分析。我们发现，在2008年经济危机中，以危机前时期为基准，污染密集型企业往往比非污染密集型公司生产更多。我们进一步发现，这种影响在出口依赖度较高、污染密集型行业生产比例较小的地区更为明显。污染密集型行业相对较快的生产扩张对国有企业来说更为明显。

Is the environment a victim of the economic downturn? Evidence from China's manufacturing firms

This paper investigates whether pollution-intensive industries develop faster in a time of economic downturn. Using firm-level panel data from 2005 to 2013, we find supporting empirical results in an analysis of China's manufacturing industries in the 2008 economic crisis. We find that pollution-intensive firms tended to produce more compared with non-pollution-intensive firms in the 2008 economic crisis, with the pre-crisis period as a baseline. We further find that this effect is more pronounced in areas with higher export dependence and a smaller proportion of production from pollution-intensive industries. The relatively faster production expansion in pollution-intensive industries is more evident for state-owned enterprises.

期刊介绍： Environment and Development Economics is positioned at the intersection of environmental, resource and development economics. The Editor and Associate Editors, supported by a distinguished panel of advisors from around the world, aim to encourage submissions from researchers in the field in both developed and developing countries. The Journal is divided into two main sections, Theory and Applications, which includes regular academic papers and Policy Options, which includes papers that may be of interest to the wider policy community. Environment and Development Economics also publishes occasional Policy Fora (discussions based on a focal paper). From time to time the journal publishes special issues based on a particular theme.
