“…Finally, we followed the whole process treatment perspective (Zhang, 2013), and compared different roles of energy and environmental technologies in reducing CO 2 emissions. The results show that intra-regional transfer of energy technologies can significantly reduce CO 2 emissions in the national, eastern and western regions, while intra-regional transfer of environmental technologies can only decrease CO 2 emissions in central regions.…”

“…In fact, however, energy technologies and environmental technological solutions play roles in different processes of carbon emissions reduction. From a whole process treatment perspective (Zhang, 2013), energy technologies mainly serve as the solution of source prevention and process control, which promote the use of renewable energy and improve the efficiency of traditional fossil energy in the production process. In contrast, environmental technologies mostly act as the end-of-pipe technological solution, which prevent, control and decrease the carbon emissions with technical equipment such as pollution control equipment and environmental monitoring instruments.…”

Ma -Liu: Intra-and inter-regional technology transfer and CO2 emissions in China: comparing the effects of energy and environmental technologies - Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the role of regional technology transfer in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in China. By collecting a panel data of 150 observations from 30 regions of mainland China during 2006-2010, this paper extends the STIRPAT model to explore the relationship between intra-and inter-regional technology transfer and CO 2 emission intensity, and meanwhile compares the effects of energy and environmental technologies in different regions of China. The results show that, in the national level, only intra-regional transfer of energy technologies can significantly reduce the CO 2 emission intensity. When it comes to the regional level, intra-regional transfer of energy technologies has a negative influence on CO 2 emissions in the eastern and western regions. In contrast, intra-regional transfer of environmental technologies negatively affects CO 2 emissions in the central regions, and even leads to a significant increase of CO 2 emissions in the eastern regions. However, neither inter-regional transfer of energy technologies nor inter-regional transfer of environmental technologies has significant effect on CO 2 emissions reduction in China. Our findings reveal the critical role of intraregional rather than inter-regional technology transfer, and also energy technologies rather than environmental technologies in reducing CO 2 emissions, which has important implications for future environmental policy-making in China.

“…lnp25m represents PM2.5 concentration in logarithm. Many scholars use a single pollutant discharge as a proxy variable for environmental regulation [42][43][44][45][46]. Pollutant emissions often have obvious correlations with environmental regulation [47], and this paper draws on this idea.…”

Based on the legitimacy theory, A-share-listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2007 to 2018 are taken as the research sample. This paper explores the internal mechanism of how internationalization degree affects the greenwashing behavior of Chinese multinational enterprises, and tests the moderating mechanism of legitimacy pressures from the home country. The findings are as follows: First, under the background of internationalization, enterprises are more inclined to greenwash, and this tendency is more obvious with the increase in internationalization degree. Second, in the full sample analysis, the moderating effects of environmental regulation, public pressure, and industry pressure are not statistically significant. Third, the moderating effect of legitimacy pressures varies due to the heterogeneity of regions and property rights of the enterprises. The statistical significance of the moderating effect is affected by the diversity of environmental regulation measures, but it can be roughly concluded that the eastern and western regions show a negative moderating effect, and the central region shows a positive moderating effect. The current moderating effect of public pressure is much stronger than the lagging moderating effect, and it shows obvious regional and property rights differences. The moderating effect of industry pressure also shows obvious regional and property rights differences.

“…11, area I, green bar). In fact, the former regions had done a good job in end-of-pipe treatment before 2006, while the latter provinces witnessed a significant progress made in the desulphurization of coalfired power plants during the period 2006-2014, showing a larger contribution of the end-of-pipe treatment (Zhang, 2013). With regards to Area II, Tianjin, Yunnan, Hubei, Guangxi, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shandong and Guizhou can be referred to as "end-of-pipe dependent regions" in SO 2 pollution control, since process treatment (i.e.…”

“…Applying the whole process decomposition approach, Hang et al (2019) decomposed industrial SO 2 emissions change in China into six specific driving factors. However, existing studies have seldom investigated the factors influencing the changes in NSEI, except for Zhang (2013) who used the LMDI approach to decompose the changes in province-level industrial NSEI into the contributions of energy structure, energy intensity, emission coefficient. Nevertheless, these studies mainly focused on regions, industrial sub-sectors or an aggregate industrial sector in China (See Table 1 for details), while SO 2 emissions from thermal power generation have rarely been addressed in the literature.…”
