“…The advancement of industrial structure involves the evolution of industrial proportional relations and the improvement of labor productivity (Liu et al 2008). Most studies measure the advanced level of the industrial structure based on the output value, employment, and growth rate of the three major industries, or calculate the advanced level of industrial structure by establishing a comprehensive index system (Romano and Traù 2017;Chen and Zhao 2019;Dong et al 2020a). Therefore, referring to the method of Yu and Wang (2021), the product of the inter-industry proportional relationship and labor productivity is used as a measure of advanced industrial structure.…”

There are obvious differences between different types of environmental regulation, which are manifested in different environmental protection tendencies and goals, and there are also significant differences in policy implementation. Therefore, it is an urgent empirical problem to quantitatively evaluate the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation on the upgrading of industrial structures. Therefore, on the basis of measuring the level of industrial structure upgrading, this paper empirically tests the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation on industrial structure upgrading. The results show that the upgrading level of China's industrial structure increased year by year from 2000 to 2018. The three types of environmental regulatory measures have effectively promoted the upgrading of the industrial structure, and the market-incentive environmental regulation (MER) has a significantly higher role in the advancement of the industrial structure than the command-controlled environmental regulation (CER) and the voluntary public participation environmental regulation (VER). With the improvement of regional economic development level, the three types of environmental regulation have gradually become more prominent in promoting the upgrading of industrial structure. In the mechanism test, it is found that technological innovation has a partial mediating effect in the process of CER affecting the upgrading of industrial structure, MER and public VER have a complete mediating effect, while foreign direct investment (FDI) has only a partial mediating effect in the process of the three types of environmental regulation affecting industrial advancement, and there is no mediating effect in the process of influencing the rationalization of industrial structure.

“…Industrial transfer is one of the means of regional economic development, so it may impact CO 2 emissions. The change in industrial structure caused by industrial transfer affects the process or method of regional economic development [ 33 ]. Therefore, industrial transfer may indirectly affect CO 2 emissions by acting on economic development.…”

“…However, as seen from the relevant studies on the influencing factors on CO 2 emissions, economic, population, urbanisation, technology and other factors have been widely discussed [ 32 ]. There is a certain correlation between industrial transfer and these factors (see Section 2 for a specific analysis framework) [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Therefore, it is worth discussing further whether industrial transfer will indirectly affect CO 2 emissions by influencing the above social and economic factors in addition to its direct effects.…”

As an important cause of global warming, CO2 emissions have become a research hotspot in recent years. Industrial transfer impacts regional CO2 emissions and is related to the low-carbon development of regional industries. Taking the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH region) as an example, this study analysed industrial transfer’s direct and indirect impacts on CO2 emissions based on a mediating model and two-way fixed effect panel regression. The results obtained indicate that industrial transfer-in has promoted CO2 emissions to a small extent, and the positive impact of industrial transfer-in on CO2 emissions wanes over time. Industrial transfer affects CO2 emissions by acting on the economic level, on population size, and on urbanisation level, but the indirect effect is weaker than the direct effect. Industrial transfer does not lead to technological upgrading, but the latter is an effective means of carbon emission reduction. Industrial transfer-in has shown a positive effect on CO2 emissions for most cities, but there are exceptions, such as Cangzhou. In the future, the BTH region should maintain coordinated development among cities and improve the cooperative innovation mechanism for energy conservation and emission reduction.

“…Industrial structure (structure): Dong et al(2020) found through empirical research that the upgrading of industrial structure is advantageous for economic growth. Therefore, industrial structure is taken as an important control variable in this study and is defined by the GDP from secondary industry and that from tertiary industry/regional GDP, represented by structure2 and structure3, respectively (Feng et al, 2019a;Dong et al, 2020).…”

As China's economy shifts from a rapid development stage to a high-quality development stage, it is important to know how different FDI characteristics affect high-quality economic development. Furthermore, under the constraints of environmental regulations, will these impacts change? The dual-fixed spatial Durbin model and panel data of 30 provinces in inland China from 2005 to 2018 were used for analysis. This study finds that (1) under the constraints of environmental regulations, the scale of FDI, export orientation, and technology spillover capacity have a significant positive impact on China's high-quality economic development, but without the constraints of environmental regulations, only the technological spillover capability of FDI has such a significant positive impact. (2) FDI with strong technology spillover capabilities not only promotes local development but also plays a significant role in promoting high-quality economic development in surrounding areas through spillover effects. (3) Compared with secondary industry, tertiary industry plays a stronger role in promoting the high-quality development of China's economy. (4) The areas with high quality economic development are concentrated in the eastern coastal cities. The outdated economic and scientific research and technology in the central and western regions means that they lack the ability to learn advanced technologies from FDI.
