“…Neves et al [16] studied the effects of market-based regulations and regulatory policies on carbon dioxide emissions, and they found that environmental regulation is effective in cutting CO2 emissions in the long-run. Zhang et al [17] showed that China's current environmental regulation had effectively inhibited the haze pollution and achieved the expected effects.…”

The rapid economic development has severely damaged the ecological environment and affected public health. Firms are the main source of pollution; thus, corporate environmental responsibility (CER) has attracted great attention from the government, shareholders and the public. This study used both the fixed effects model and the system GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) model to examine the relationship between environmental pollution, environmental regulations and CER for 30 provinces in China, over the period 2005 to 2015. This study drew the following results: first, mandatory CER disclosure policy can significantly decrease environmental pollution. Second, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between environmental regulations and environmental pollution. Third, environmental pollution has a positive impact on CER. Fourth, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between environmental regulations and CER. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between environmental regulations affecting environmental pollution and CER so that they can effectively reduce environmental pollution and increase the enthusiasm of firms to carry out environmental responsibility activities.

“…Salman et al (2019) found that exports increase CO2 emissions. Other studies discussed the pollution halo effect Sarkodie and Strezov (2019) and Liu et al (2018) and the pollution haven hypothesis (Zhang et al, 2019). The effect of trade on CO2 has scale, composition, and regulation effect (Farhani et al, 2014).…”

The extant literature has provided empirical evidences about the relationship between urbanization and environment, however, a little attention has been paid to non-linear relationship among them. This study aims to measure the effects of urbanization on carbon dioxide emission using quantile and threshold regression method. To this end, the study employed threshold analysis and quantile regression method and analyzed the variation of such non-linearity for different levels of carbon dioxide using quantile regression. The results illustrate that a single threshold and two regimes exist and the threshold for urbanization is 29.56%. Across both regimes, the elasticity estimates form an inverted U-shape impact of urbanization on the carbon dioxide emission. The increase in the marginal effect of urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions up to the median level and a declining trend after this level implies that environmental quality significantly improves for emerging country.

“…Nevertheless, rational environmental regulations effectively suppress CO 2 emissions [57]. In addition, governance cost constrains free-riding behavior and can more directly transmit changes in government environmental regulation [58,59]. More importantly, the marginal cost benefits the measurement of the spillover effect from neighboring provincial regions [54].…”

The low-carbon transformation has turned out to be a challenging task faced by government agencies, enterprises, and society because of the global warming. Endorsing the expansion of the low-carbon revolution is considered as an essential measure for low-carbon alteration and advancement. Therefore, articulating realistic environmental control strategies intended to enhance the motivation level of low-carbon innovation, though outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) can produce direct and indirect influences on the growth of low-carbon innovation. According to the data of 30 provinces of China from 2004 to 2017, the relationship among environmental regulation, OFDI, and low-carbon innovation was analyzed using the spatial econometric model. Based on the analyzed data, the following conclusions were drawn. (i) From the national and regional perspectives, China’s low-carbon innovation takes understandable agglomeration features in the longitudinal dimension. In addition, environmental regulation plays a key role in promoting low-carbon innovation and regional heterogeneity. (ii) Environmental regulation might force enterprises outward foreign direct investment efficiently and increase the level of OFDI that will be capable of promoting low-carbon innovation. (iii) OFDI acts as an intermediary in the relationship between environmental regulation and low-carbon innovation, and this role has regional heterogeneity. (iv) There are significant spatial spillover effects of environmental regulation and OFDI on low-carbon innovation, environmental regulation on OFDI, and the intermediary effect of OFDI on environmental regulation and low-carbon innovation. This study supplements our understanding of the relationship between environmental regulation and OFDI, in addition to low-carbon innovation, which provides illumination for enterprise practice, as well as decision-makers.
