“…Du and Li ( 27 ) find that environmental Reg restrains the extensive and intensive margins of export, where the negative impact on pollution intensive enterprises is greater than that on clean enterprises. Environmental Reg is an important means to solve economic development and environmental pollution, which plays an important role in green innovation ( 28 ) and high-quality development of China's economy ( 29 , 30 ).…”

The microeconomic behavior of enterprises is influenced by the government system and its policies. In this article, we investigate how environmental regulation and environmental decentralization affect enterprise environmental protection investment using the data of China's listed companies from 2009 to 2020 and examine the effect of environmental decentralization on the relationship between environmental regulation and environmental protection investment. First, we find that there is a “U-shaped” relationship between environmental regulation and enterprise environmental protection investment. Second, the estimation results indicate that environmental decentralization can promote enterprise environmental protection investment. Finally, we further provide evidence to show that environmental decentralization has a negative moderating impact on the relationship between environmental regulation and enterprise environmental protection investment. Accordingly, the conclusion of this study is helpful to optimize the environmental decentralization management system, reasonably guide the local government behavior, alleviate the contradiction between environmental protection and economic development, and promote the green transformation of economic development mode.

“…However, while the economy is growing rapidly, the protection of the environment is neglected. This way of improving economic development at the expense of the environment has heaped substantial pressure on the Chinese economy from high-speed development to high-quality development [2,3]. In the "Global Environmental Performance Index" report released in 2020, China only ranks 120th, reflecting the poor state of the Chinese environmental situation.…”

Digital Economy Development and Urban Green Innovation CA-Pability: Based on Panel Data of 274 Prefecture-Level Cities in China

et al. 2022

The digital economy (DE) plays a crucial role in green innovation (GI) and green development as a new economic form. Based on the panel data of 274 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2019, this paper constructs a comprehensive DE index and conducts two-way fixed effect regression to explore its impact on GI capabilities and examines the mediating effect of industrial structure transformation and upgrading. The research results show that: (1) The development of the DE has significantly improved the GI capability of cities. (2) In terms of space, the development of DE and GI ability development in eastern cities outperform that in central and western regions. However, the development of eastern cities is almost saturated and slow, while the development of central and western cities is faster. (3) The DE has a significant role in promoting GI capabilities in the central and western regions. Although the eastern region has a positive impact, it is negligible. In terms of urban scale, the DE of the large, medium, and small cities positively affects GI capabilities to the effect. (4) The transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure mediate the relationship between the DE and GI. Based on the above conclusions, relevant suggestions for improving GI capabilities around the development of the DE and industrial transformation and upgrading must be devised.

“…In the short term, ER has decreased the research and development (R&D) expenditures of firms and has a "counteract effect" on the research and innovation ability of industrial sectors. In the long term, the intensification of environmental regulations will lead to a "compensation effect" on the industry and promote HQED and the growth of the green economy (Liu et al, 2021). Cao et al (2020a) found an inverted U-shaped relationship between green economic growth and ER, and it has a notable effect on energy-intensive, high-polluting, and medium-polluting industries.…”

Energy-based economic development brings about some environmental problems, and as China’s economy shifts from rapid growth to high-quality development, the implementation of environmental regulation is crucial to achieving environmental protection and high-quality economic development. Based on the panel data of 14 prefectures and cities from 2000 to 2018 in Xinjiang, this study explored the impact of environmental regulation on high-quality economic development by constructing a comprehensive evaluation index system and using entropy method and Tobit regression model. The results show that 1) overall, each 1% increase in environmental regulation is associated with a 0.037% rise in high-quality economic development level; 2) regionally, each 1% increase in environmental regulation is associated with a 0.119% rise in high-quality economic development level in northern Xinjiang, but the effect on the southern Xinjiang is not significant; 3) each 1% increase in environmental regulation, the level of high-quality economic development decreased by 0.034% from 2000 to 2010 and increased by 0.061% from 2011 to 2018. In general, this study adds to the theoretical and empirical study on the influence of environmental regulation on high-quality economic development while providing a methodology for other economies to assess the relationship between the two.
