“…Thirdly, in contrast to other scholars' debates on pollution border effect in many developed countries and emerging economies (Kaldellis et al, 2007;Lipscomb and Mobarak, 2017;Coria et al, 2021;Torre et al, 2021), this study found that the pollution border effect exists in the economically eastern developed regions, but not in the economically backward western regions due to inconvenient transportation and sparse population.…”

The spatial transfer pattern and dynamic mechanisms of pollution-intensive industries are key issues for national and regional sustainable development. Although previous studies have emphasized the impact of environmental regulations on the transfer of pollution industries, there is a lack of firm-level analysis of the combined effects of different types of environmental regulations and other factors on them, which has led to the pollution haven hypothesis remaining contested. In order to provide micro evidence to test the pollution haven hypothesis, this paper reveals the temporal and spatial evolution of pollution-intensive foreign firms’ distribution in China, and explores the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the location choices by using spatial analysis and zero-inflated negative binomial regression. The empirical results were as follows: Firstly, pollution-intensive foreign firms were highly concentrated in the eastern developed region and have a strong path dependency in China. Secondly, environmental regulations, especially the market-based environmental regulation, had a significant negative impact on the location choices of pollution-intensive foreign firms. Thirdly, the spatial distribution of pollution-intensive foreign firms was strongly influenced by new economic and geographic factors. Fourthly, pollution-intensive foreign firms have a significant pollution border effects in developed regions but not in economically less-developed regions due to transportation costs. The governments are expected to adopt heterogeneous environmental regulations based on the level of regional economic development to avoid the pollution haven phenomenon, thus achieving a sustainable development.

“…Once the intention of cooperation among government actors has been determined in the region, it is necessary to implement regional policies for JPAC (Lu et al, 2019). And the formulation of regional policies should clarify the policy linkage between governance actors (Costantini et al, 2017), in order to reduce the impact of such policies on local development, and avoid duplication of policy content, conflict and other problems (Coria et al, 2021).…”

“…The cross-domain governance theory originated from the British Joined-up Government Reform (Ling, 2002), focusing on integrating functions, rules, services of different government units (Wang and Zhao, 2021). Based on the policies issued, it focuses on eliminating policy conflicts, reducing policy duplication, and improving control efficiency (Coria et al, 2021). Accordingly, we will analyze the policy links among government actors using policy content analysis, and then suggest feasible directions for policy integration.…”

Understanding the multisectoral and multiregional cooperation which coordinates the relationship between different government actors and integrates their policies is essential to effectively address increasing regional air pollution. Although the literature on effects of polices is rapidly expanding, little is known about the actual extent of policy linkage of multisector and multiregion, resulting in policy conflicts and duplications. Using 13486 policy documents in China from 2000 to 2018, we combine machine learning methods with social network analysis to investigate the policy content and linkage in central departments and local departments. We find that, firstly, the coordination of central departments is constantly improving, mainly focusing on the Comprehensive Control and the Publicity Guide, with little attention to market-oriented measures. Secondly, since local governments have similar policy foundations in Emergency Management, Total Amount Control, Dust Control, and Moving Pollution Control, they are able to cooperate in these aspects, even when there are differences in local regulations. This paper provides suggestions for the further coordination of the central government, as well as the direction of policy integration for local governments.

“…The theory of environmental regulation (ER) is essential to the view of institutional influence. This theory holds that environmental pollution has negative externalities, and the government must use tangible institutions or intangible consciousness to restrict the actors to protect the ecological environment [10]. Since the theory was put forward, widespread attention from society has been received, particularly its outstanding contribution to preventing and controlling pollution in the industrial field.…”

Environmental regulation (ER) is essential to preventing agricultural non-point source pollution (ANSP). Prior research has focused on the effect of ER on agricultural pollution (AP), but little is known about the impact of ER following digitization on preventing AP, particularly ANSP. Based on the spatial heterogeneity, the effect of ER was examined using a geographic detector tool with provincial panel data from 2010 to 2020 in rural China. The results show that ER is a driver in preventing ANSP, primarily because of the constraint on farmers’ behavior. Digitization positively affects the prevention of ANSP, as the new impetus for the infrastructure, technology, and capital is supported. The interaction between ER and digitalization forms a driving effect on the prevention of ANSP, indicating that digitalization constitutes the path dependence of farmers’ rule acquisition and perception and addresses the “free riding” dilemma of farmers’ participation, thereby enabling the incentive of ER to make agricultural production green and efficient. These findings indicate that the endogenous factor of digitization allowing ER is essential to preventing ANSP.
