Agglomeration externalities and the non‐linear performance of environmental regulation: Evidence from China

Abstract: The pollution abatement effect of environmental regulation changes periodically in terms of local economic agglomeration levels, because of agglomeration externalities could influence firms' regulatory response by changing the compliance cost. Based on a panel dataset of 30 provinces in China from 1999 to 2017, this paper engages in threshold model and mediation analysis to examine the thresholds of economic agglomeration for environmental regulation to take effect and the influencing paths of environmental re… Show more

“…The transformation to a service-oriented and regulatory-oriented government, and the inclusion of ecological and environmental performance in the official assessment system, will strengthen the supervision of enterprises [11]. Simultaneously, enterprises settled in industrial clusters can bring economic benefits and make full use of centralized treatments of pollutants to achieve scale effects in pollution abatement and reduce pollution control costs [10,13]. Enterprises will also reduce nonproductive expenditures and focus on production and environmental governance [8].…”

“…Due to the differences in research perspectives and scales, there are multiple nonunified quantitative methods for measuring ER, including the comprehensive index [23], the substitution method [10], and the natural difference method [39]. Considering that multidimensionality and comparability are two relatively important aspects of the measurement of ER, we constructed an ER intensity index based on Keller's industrial composition pollution abatement adjusted cost measurement approach [43].…”

“…A few studies have evaluated the interaction effects between agglomeration and environmental regulations (e.g. Zeng and Zhao 2009;Pang et al 2021) but these attempts ignore the joint determination of tax policy and environmental standards central to the work of Oates and Schwab (1988). In a more recent paper, Kunce (2022a) incorporates multiplicative external economies into the framework of Oates and Schwab (1988) finding that when external economies to scale are sufficiently strong, local policy influences on capital flow are mitigated providing jurisdictions' incentives to strengthen environmental standards beyond the social optimum.…”

“…核压力可能存在暂时性的 "应激反应" [11,12] , 企业会通 过关停、 减产等方式缩小生产规模, 降低污染排放, 以快速达成环境考核目标。而中央开展的环保约 谈政策以及政府环境审计均会刺激企业增加生产 过程的环保清洁投入, 通过提高污染治理水平提升 企业环保绩效, 以获得持久性的 "长效反应" [13,14] 的提升 [15,16] 。进一步, 公众环保诉求与政府环境规 制的协同作用显著增强环境监管程度, 提升企业的 环境治理动机 [1,17] , 抑制污染排放水平, 增强环境责 任意识 [18] 。…”
