异质环境规制(HER)的协调对于促进区域绿色协同发展至关重要。这项研究的主要目的是评估各种异质环境法规(HER)对中国城市绿色经济转型(GET)的影响。我们建立了一个综合指标体系来衡量GET的三个维度:经济绿色发展水平,资源和环境支持能力,以及对绿色转型的支持程度。这项研究调查了2011年至2020年期间的284个中国城市。应用动态面板模型,一个动态的杜宾模型,和一个协同模型,我们探索直接影响,空间效应,以及HER对中国城市GET协同效应的不对称性。我们发现,就直接影响而言,所有环境法规都可以促进城市获取,尽管影响的大小是异质的。在空间溢出效应方面,特定地区的市场激励和公众参与环境政策抑制了邻近地区的绿色转型,而整体环境规制和指挥控制规制对邻近地区的绿色转型有显著的积极影响。此外,HER的总短期效应显著高于总长期效应。HER对京津冀城市群和长三角城市群具有正向的协同效应。该研究可以为以低碳为重点的区域协调发展提供有价值的政策启示。
The coordination of heterogeneous environmental regulations (HER) is crucial for promoting regional green synergistic development. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of various heterogeneous environmental regulations (HER) on the green economic transformation (GET) of cities in
China. We developed a comprehensive index system to measure the GET across three dimensions: the level of economic green development, the capacity for resource and environmental support, and the level of support for green transformation. This study examines 284 Chinese cities during the period from 2011 to 2020. Applying a dynamic panel model, a dynamic Durbin model, and a synergy model, we explore direct effects, spatial effects, and asymmetry of synergistic effects of HER on the GET of Chinese cities. We find that, in terms of direct effects, all environmental regulations can promote urban GET, though the magnitude of effects is heterogeneous. In terms of spatial spillover effects, market-incentive and public-participation environmental policies in a given region inhibit green transformation in neighboring regions, while overall environmental regulation and command-and-control regulation have significant positive effects on neighboring regions\' green transformation. Furthermore, the total short-term effect of HER is significantly higher than the total long-term effect. The synergistic effect of HER is positive for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city cluster and the Yangtze River Delta city cluster. This study can provide valuable policy implications for regional coordinated development with a low-carbon focus.
