“…Even if the quadratic term of the explanatory variable is added, the relationship between the explanatory variable and each parameter is still linear. Since fiscal decentralization has a non-linear relationship with public health, the quadratic term for the FD variable was introduced to test the non-linear relationship between FD and PH [as in Jin et al ( 26 )]. If the results show that the coefficients of FD 2 and FD are both significant, then the relationship between FD and PH is non-linear.…”

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and the launch of the “Healthy China 2030” strategy in 2019, public health has become a relevant topic of discussion both within and outside China. The provision of public health services, which is determined by public health expenditure, is critical to the regional public health sector. Fiscal decentralization provides local governments with more financial freedom, which may result in changes to public health spending; thus, fiscal decentralization may influence public health at the regional level. In order to study the effects of fiscal decentralization on local public health expenditure and local public health levels, we applied a two-way fixed effect model as well as threshold regression and intermediate effect models to 2008–2019 panel data from China's 30 mainland provinces as well as from four municipalities and autonomous regions to study the effects of fiscal decentralization on public health. The study found that fiscal decentralization has a positive effect on increasing public health expenditure. Moreover, fiscal decentralization can promote improvements in regional public health by increasing public health expenditure and by improving the availability of regional medical public service resources. In addition, fiscal decentralization has a non-linear effect on public health.

“…The control variables selected in this study mainly include the technology level (RD), expressed as the proportion of regional research and development expenditure in GDP (Cao et al 2021 ); the education level of residents (Edu), which is expressed in terms of per capita years of education (Zhou et al 2020 ); the direct use of foreign direct investment (FDI), which is expressed by the proportion of FDI in GDP (Jin et al 2021 ); the degree of openness (Open), which is expressed by the proportion of total import and export trade in GDP (Jin et al 2021 ); the urbanization level (Urban), which is expressed as the proportion of urban population; the level of local economic development, which is expressed by GDP per capita (Gdpc) (Zhou et al 2021 ); and the environmental regulation level (ER), which was selected to control the impact of environmental governance on IGGR, expressed by the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste. The descriptive statistics of variables are shown in Table 2 .…”

Inclusive green growth (IGG), as a new way to attain sustainable development, aims to achieve comprehensive and coordinated economic, social, and environmental development. How to define IGG and explore its driving factors is key to realizing IGG. This study takes China as an example, using panel data from 30 provinces in Mainland China from 2009 to 2018 for research. The epsilon-based measure (EBM) model and Global Malmquist–Luenberger (GML) index are used to evaluate China’s IGG, and a spatial panel regression model of the impact of urban land resource misallocation on IGG is established. The research found that (1) China’s IGG level from 2009 to 2018 displayed an upward trend, and combined with exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), it was found that IGG has an obvious spatial correlation; (2) the regression model shows that the misallocation of land resources hinders the improvement of IGG in China; and (3) the decomposition of spatial spillover effects demonstrates that the misallocation of land resources has negative externalities, which will also have adverse effects on neighboring areas.

“…Based on the above analysis, we believe that the relationship between enterprise environmental performance and economic performance is not a simple linear relationship. With the continuous increase of enterprise environmental performance, the influence on enterprise economic performance may present an inverted U-shaped relationship [35,36]. Therefore, we propose the following hypothesis:…”

“…This information may sometimes be biased. Enterprises exaggerate the level of their social responsibility practices and create a more positive corporate image for stakeholders [35][36][37]. Due to the over-reporting of participants and the uncontrollable heterogeneity of enterprises, these studies are often biased.…”

In recent years, the importance of corporate environmental responsibility has gradually become more prominent. This study combines the Slack-based Measurement (SBM) model with the “Super-efficiency” model to construct an environmental performance evaluation based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is used to measure the environmental performance of China’s large iron and steel enterprises from 2009 to 2017. Moreover, the impact of environmental performance on enterprise economic performance is studied by regression analysis. The results show that that environmental performance and economic performance of large iron and steel enterprises in China are in an inverted U-shaped relationship. This encourages enterprises to be proactive in environmental management to maintain and enhance their competitive edge. Therefore, this research suggests that iron and steel enterprises should balance the relationship between environmental performance and economic performance, and adopt environmental protection behaviors to carry out production and operation, to maximize enterprise performance.
