“…The precipitation of industrial PM through rain, production of industrial wastewater, or electroplating sludge disposal can introduce toxic electroplating products into soil and water bodies [ [21] , [22] , [23] ]. Intensified human activities in coastal regions [ 24 , 25 ] lead to progressive degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems [ 26 ] and can facilitate the transfer of toxic metals and persistent organic pollutants through food chains to seafood, fish, and eventually to humans [ 27 , 28 ]. The regulation of the negative impact of pollutant emissions on the aquatic environment requires the consideration of standards for different types of pollutants.…”

“…Third, the impact of environmental regulations on the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure is uncertain, that is, the relationship between environmental regulations and industrial structure transformation and upgrading is nonlinear (Zhou et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2018;Chen and Qian, 2020;). Yuan et al (2014) used panel data from 30 provinces in China from 1999 to 2011, and the study showed that the impact of environmental regulations on industrial structure adjustment was first restrained, followed by promotion, and then restrained.…”

There are obvious differences between different types of environmental regulations, which are manifested in different environmental protection tendencies and goals, and there are also significant differences in policy implementation. Therefore, it is an urgent empirical problem to quantitatively evaluate the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure. Based on this, this paper empirically tests the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure on the basis of measuring the level of industrial structure transformation and upgrading. The results show that the transformation and upgrading level of China's industrial structure increased year by year from 2000 to 2017. The three types of environmental regulatory measures have effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure, and the market incentive environmental regulation (MER) has a significantly higher role in the advancement of the industrial structure than the command-controlled environmental regulation (CER) and the voluntary public participation environmental regulation (VER). The three types of environmental regulations have gradually highlighted the role of environmental regulations in promoting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure with the improvement of the level of regional economic development. In the mechanism test, it is found that technological innovation has partial mediating effect in the process of CER affecting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, MER and public VER have complete mediating effect, while FDI has only partial mediating effect in the process of three types of environmental regulation affecting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure.

“…The robustness test of mediation test. Some researchers hold the view that the impact of different kinds of environmental regulations on TFP and industrial upgrading can cause heterogeneity [63,64]. In order to examine whether the mediator variable (TFPi) is stable in the effect mechanism of environmental regulation on RE export, standard rate of industrial waste water discharge (ER_wastewater) and comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste (ER_solidwaste) are used as the alternative variables of the explanatory variable.…”

China’s rare earth export trade has developed so rapidly since 1990s that China has gradually occupied a leading position in the international market. However, this fast development was proceeding at the cost of the rare earth energy consumption and environmental devastation. Now China begins to attach great importance to environmental protection, which attracts many researchers. This study aims to analyze the influence of environmental regulation on China’s rare earth export trade. And the original study is amongst the few to examine the relationship between environmental regulation and China’s rare earth export with the product-level data. Different from previous studies, this paper selects China’s rare earth export data from 1995 to 2015 and introduces product heterogeneity based on the rare earth production process. Moreover, this study uses the entropy weight method to measure the intensity of environmental regulation. The core conclusions are as follows: (1) Environmental regulation significantly promotes rather than restrains China’s rare earth export. (2) According to the rare earth production process, this paper divides rare earth products into 3 kinds, that is, rare earth raw materials, rare earth useful components and rare earth end-use applications. Then, it is found that rare earth useful component export in processing and smelting is positively affected by environmental regulation. Rare earth raw materials and end-use applications in China’s export are hardly affected. (3) Technological innovation has a mediating effect on the impact mechanism of environmental regulation on China’s rare earth export, which means that environmental regulation significantly promotes technological innovation of enterprises, and thereby the rare earth export is increased. The findings are helpful for policymakers to resolve the issue of environmental devastation.
