“…However, rising incomes and cleaner, more efficient production technologies will reduce environmental pollution. Dasgupta et al [30], and Lozano and Gutierrez [31] applied the DEA method to examine the relationship among energy consumption, GDP, and CO 2 emissions, and the empirical results suggested that GDP growth and greenhouse gas reductions can be simultaneously achieved with high energy efficiency.…”

Policymakers around the world are confronted with the challenge of balancing between economic development and environmental friendliness, which entails a robust set of measures in energy efficiency and environmental protection. The increasing complexity of these issues has imposed pressure on the Asian countries that have been acting as global factories. This paper proposes a meta-frontier slacks-based measure (SBM) data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, with the hope that policymakers clarify the relationship between labor force, energy consumption, government expenditures, GDP, and CO 2 emissions. Clarification of the causal relationship can serve as a template for policy decisions and ease concerns regarding the potential adverse effects of carbon reduction and energy efficiency on the economy. The results show: (1) Developing countries should establish their own climate change governance and policy frameworks; (2) Developed economies should seek to lower carbon emissions; (3) Energy policies play a pivotal role in energy efficiency improvement; (4) Top-down efforts are critical for the success of carbon reduction policies; (5) Learning from the success of developed countries helps to improve the effectiveness of energy policies; (6) Environmental policies should be formulated, and new production technologies, pollution prevention measures, and treatment methods should be introduced; (7) Governments are suggested to build long-term independent management institutions to promote energy cooperation and exchange.

“…Hettige et al (2000) found that the strict environmental regulations could cause the discharge of industrial waste water cut back with increasing income through the industrial discharges empirical data of Brazil, China and other 12 countries [3]. Dasgupta et al (2001) through the data from the industry in Zhenjiang of China to detect the impact of supervision and sewage charges on the enterprises, got a conclusion that government regulation was more effective than the sewage charges [4]. Through data of 23 countries in 1960-1995 year, Tzouvelekas (2007) regarded carbon dioxide emissions as production input factors, and found that when the environment factor was introduced into the production, the traditional total factor productivity's growth is overestimated, and environment played a key role in the output growth and technological advances [5].…”

Abstract. Environmental quality has always been the focus of China's economic and social development. China puts forward that environmental protection and economic development should complement each other, but in practice economic development has been relatively fast, meanwhile, China has paid a serious environmental cost. This paper will take into account the characteristics of pollution spills, and do the research on the environmental governance effects of fiscal policy by establishing the spatial econometric models. The results show that the best environmental governance effects of fiscal policy are industrial sulfur dioxide emission reduction, followed by industrial solid waste reduction, and finally the industrial waste reduction. The research output will have a positive effect on China's financial reform, and further will help to improve the environment quality of China.

Compliance is an important issue in environmental regulation. We discuss some of the key elements of the problem and analyze a situation where emissions are not random and firms are risk-neutral. We study the firm's decision on emissions and compliance when the environmental regulation is based on standards and the enforcement agency audits the firm with a certain probability. We compare total emissions when environmental regulation is based on different instruments: standards, taxes, and tradable permits. We show that when compliance is an issue, environmental taxes are superior to the other instruments, and we analyze the (static) efficiency of the solution.JEL Classification numbers: K32, K42, D82.
