“…If these conditions were tested in China before 2007, commandcontrol policy would not bring the convenience to achieve this aim. Nevertheless, after 2007, the Chinese government begins to focus on market-originated environmental policies, such as collect resource tax, discharge fee (Lui and Leamon, 2014). These policies belong to flexible environmental regulation policies, which give corporations more freedom to find a technical solution to minimize regulation cost (Caputo, 2014).…”

“…In that case, Chinese government changed it from such compulsory measures to market related policies. Such policies included the "Regulation Enforcement of Export Companies' Environmental Protection" in the year 2007, the "National Environmental Protection 'Twelfth Five-year' Plan" in 2011 and the new "Environment Quality Standard" (GB3095-2012) released in 2012 (Dong et al, 2015;Lui and Leamon, 2014) . After these new environmental policy series implemented, Chinese environmental governance has gained a stage achievement.…”

“…Confronted with problems stemming from the excessive consumption of resources and environmental damage incurred by economic development, [1][2][3] China has put forward a set of environmental protection policies, in which environmental regulation is the main measure proposed to constrain industrial pollution emissions. 4,5 Environmental regulations have been regarded as effective ways to reduce the impact of economic activities on the environment.…”

Improvements to industrial economic efficiency are important in coordinating China's economic development and its environmental protections; furthermore, an effective environmental regulation system is a crucial driver of both industrial economic efficiency and technological innovation. Using panel data pertaining to China's 12 characteristic industries over the 2008-2015 period, this study divides environmental regulations into two types -namely, cost-oriented environmental regulations (ER1) and investment-oriented environmental regulations (ER2). This study employs a slacks-based method to calculate the economic efficiency of different groups of industries, and it applies a regression model to test the effects of these two types of environmental regulations on economic efficiency and technological innovation among China's 12 key industries. Our research results offer three distinct findings. (1) These two types of environmental regulations have opposite effects on industrial efficiency and technological innovation: ER1 have significant and positive effects on economic efficiency and technological innovation, but ER2 have negative effects on them. (2) The results with respect to various groups of industries differ widely, with lowefficiency industries sustaining a more positive influence from environmental regulations and technological innovation than high-efficiency ones. (3) Technological innovation effectively promotes the economic efficiency of industries and tends to have a more significant impact on relatively lowefficiency industries. These findings indicate that the effects of different types of environmental regulations differ across industries. Finally, to optimize and adjust these environmental regulation tools, this study makes policy recommendations for various industries.

“…Second, the growing intensity of environmental regulation forces enterprises to take more initiative in innovation, which reduces their potential environmental costs (Roud and Thurner, 2018). Third, the Chinese government is focusing on market-driven environmental policies, such as resource tax, which is a discharge fee to motivate enterprises to become innovative and provide them with greater freedom to find a technical solution to minimize regulation costs (Caputo, 2014;Lui and Leamon, 2014). De Vries and Withagen (2005) confirmed that environmental policy in Europe seems to promote innovation.…”

We use an unbalanced panel data analysis to examine the effect of political connections (PCs) in state-owned enterprises (SOE) and non-SOEs on the innovation of Chinese environmentally polluting enterprises listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2007 to 2016. Our sample consists of 792 firms and 4587 firm-year observations. There are several interesting findings. First, SOEs that are politically linked to the central government promote more innovation in general and more environmental innovation than SOEs without these links. Second, privately-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) with PCs promote less environmental innovation than non-SOEs without PCs. Third, environmental regulation does not affect the environmental innovation of SOEs but it drives non-SOEs with PCs to become more environmentally innovative. Our results enable us to better understand how PCs and regulations affect environmental innovation.
