“…When using moderation analysis, green innovation was found to enhance the competitive advantage of manufacturing firms, which also supported the Porter hypothesis [45]. When using a dynamic panel, Porter effects were found between governmental green environmental concerns and firms' actual investment [46]. However, it is worth noting that both mediation and moderation analysis or dynamic panel only guarantee local nonlinearity for limited variables (two or three), but not all relevant variables are nonlinearly coupled.…”

In the 2018 Global Environmental Performance Index, China’s global air quality rank was fourth from last, indicating a more pronounced conflict between the environment and development compared with other countries. Because of the vastness of China’s land area, the development of different regions is imbalanced. The achievement of the stipulated goal to be among the top innovative countries in the world by 2035 not only depends on the economically developed eastern part of China but also on the relatively economically underdeveloped central, western, and northeastern parts. In this context, this paper uses time-varying qualitative comparative analysis to explore how the coupling paths of environmental regulation affect regional innovation. The results show that: (1) In most cases at the overall level of China, the Porter hypothesis is supported, and environmental regulation can play the role of a “booster” and stimulate regional innovation. In a few cases, however, the Porter hypothesis is not supported. (2) The Porter hypothesis is also supported in most cases at the regional level, where environmental regulation is mostly a “booster” for regional innovation in the east, center, west, and northeast. (3) Comparison of regional heterogeneity shows that environmental regulation is more important for stimulating regional innovation in the east than in the center, west, and northeast. This study helps to identify the role of environmental regulation in regional innovation. Moreover, it also helps to understand the emphasis China placed on environmental management during the early stages of its economic development.

“…Huang et al used the difference-in-difference method to find that environmental regulation has a positive impact on R&D spending [12]. However, since carbon tax will generate additional tax costs, it will also have a negative impact on corporate investment decisions [13]. Cheng and Sun divided environmental regulation into two categories: mandatory and incentive, and divided low-carbon manufacturing practice into five dimensions: supply chain enterprise cooperation, internal management support, production process management, low-carbon product design and environmental standard implementation, using structural equation model to explore the relationship between environmental regulation and low-carbon manufacturing practice.…”

Under the background of low-carbon economy, in order to explore the internal mechanism of enterprises implementing carbon emission reduction behavior, this paper uses evolutionary game theory and numerical simulation method to study the evolutionary stability strategy and its influencing factors of carbon emission reduction behavior of supply chain enterprises in a two-level supply chain composed of a single supplier and a single manufacturer from a dynamic perspective, considering environmental regulation and consumers’ preference for low carbon emission. The results show that there are certain conditions that make supply chain enterprises converge to carbon emission reduction investment behavior under the effect of command-and-control environmental regulation and consumer low-carbon preference, and converge to cooperative carbon emission reduction behavior under the effect of market-based environmental regulation and consumer low-carbon preference. On this basis, the factors significantly influence the carbon emission reduction investment behavior of supply chain enterprises are the carbon emission reward and punishment coefficient and the low carbon preference coefficient of consumers. Increasing the carbon tax rate, carbon emission trading price and the proportion of cost subsidies, as well as encouraging consumers to consume low-carbon products will help promote the realization of cooperative carbon emission reduction.

How does environmental regulation affect ecological efficiency? What is the role of industrial transfer in the mechanism of action? Relations and interactions between the three determine economic quality when ecological performance is concerned. Empirical studies in this paper are based on samples from the Yangtze River economic belt in China, which contributes nearly half of China’s GDP. By measuring environmental regulation, industrial transfer, and ecological efficiency, data and indexes are prepared for investigating the driving mechanism of environmental regulation and illustrating of the role of industrial transfer. By applying the Markov process to model industrial transfer between regions, the dynamic of transfer is simulated and facilitates further study on the effects of industrial transfer. Finally, this paper concludes that by targeting on the improvement of ecological efficiency, environmental regulation releases its utility through industrial transfer. The highlights include three aspects. Theoretically, it illustrates the driving mechanism of improving the eco-efficiency by environmental regulation. Technically, it pioneers a methodology for describing the regional industrial transfer by modeling it with a Markov process. Practically, the conclusion supplies insights into the inherent law of sustainable development for policy makers.
