“…Our evidence is also in line with Wolde-Rufael and Mulat-Weldemeskel (2020) who found an inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental policy stringency index and CO 2 emissions for BRIICTS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia, China, Turkey, and South Africa). Song et al (2020b) and Zhang et al (2020) have also found a U-shaped relationship between environmental regulation and green product innovation for China. Our evidence together with the above indicates that regulations take time to be effective (Neve, et al, 2020).…”

“…One is that many authors studied the reduction and governance of the enterprises' pollution from the perspective of environmental regulations. Most scholars believed that environmental regulations can effectively reduce environmental pollution [5][6][7]. Some scholars also believed that environmental regulations have different impacts on enterprises with different pollution levels-the impacts on pollution-intensive enterprises was much greater than that on cleaning enterprises [8].…”

Environmental pollution has become an important obstacle on the path of ecological civilization construction, and it is urgent to control environmental pollution. By establishing an evolutionary game model, this thesis focuses on analyzing how paper-making enterprises choose their own emission reduction strategies under the reward and punishment mechanism. It further analyzes how social welfare changes under the reward and punishment mechanism, and finally through simulation research, this thesis analyzes the evolutionary paths of paper-making enterprises’ pollution emission strategies under the reward and punishment mechanism. The results of the reward and punishment mechanism are as follows: under the static reward and punishment mechanism, the game system will repeatedly oscillate around a point. There is no stable equilibrium point at this time. However, under the dynamic reward and punishment mechanism, the game system will tend to a stable equilibrium point. The results of social welfare analysis show that high-intensity rewards will reduce the amount of pollution discharged by paper-making enterprises, thereby maximizing social welfare. On the contrary, when paper-making enterprises discharge a large amount of pollution, they will be subject to high-intensity penalties. When facing high-intensity punishments, paper-making enterprises will tend to not to discharge. So social welfare is also maximized. The simulation research results show that reasonable punishment strategies are more effective than reward ones. Based on this, the author proposes countermeasures, such as establishing a reasonable reward and punishment mechanism, reasonably determining the reward and punishment intensity for polluting enterprises. The emission reduction strategies of paper-making enterprises will be affected by the government’s reward and punishment mechanism. A deep study of its internal mechanism is not only of great significance for pollution control but also of great significance for the development of a green economy.

“…In the short term, environmental regulations has a negative impact on green technology innovation, and in the long term, environmental regulations has a positive impact on green technology innovation. Song et al 39,40 found that environmental regulations can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also effectively promote the enhancement of enterprises' technological innovation capabilities. Zhang et al 41 found that the upgrading of industrial structure can reduce haze pollution, at the same time, environmental regulations can play a role in promoting.…”

relationship model of environmental regulations, green innovation, environmental dynamism and intelligent upgrade is established. Based on the data of Chinese manufacturing listed companies in the process of intelligent upgrade, this article quantitatively analyzes the relationship between environmental regulations, green innovation, environmental dynamism and intelligent upgrading. This article quantitatively studies the role of environmental regulations in promoting intelligent upgrading. It proves the mediating role of green innovation between environmental regulations and intelligent transformation and upgrading. The mediating role of environmental dynamics between green innovation and intelligent upgrading is discussed. The article strives to provide theoretical guidance and practical inspiration for the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. The possible marginal contributions of this paper are as follows: Firstly, the impact mechanism of environmental regulations on the intelligent upgrade of manufacturing enterprises is clarified. By constructing a mechanism model of environmental regulations on the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises, the direct and indirect effects of environmental regulations on the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises are analyzed. Secondly, it reveals the important role of green innovation in environmental regulations and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. By analyzing the relationship between green innovation and the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises, green innovation and environmental regulations, it verifies the intermediary role of green innovation in environmental regulations and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. Thirdly, clarify the regulatory role of environmental dynamism between green innovation and the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. This article analyzes the relationship between environmental dynamism and green innovation and the intelligent upgrade of manufacturing companies, and empirically examines the regulatory role of environmental dynamism between green innovation and the intelligent upgrade of manufacturing companies. The rest of this article is organized as follows. "Literature review" section summarizes and reviews relevant important literature. "Research hypotheses" presents research hypotheses among environmental regulations, green innovation, environmental dynamism, and intelligent upgrades. "Materials and method" section presents the research design and method of this paper. "Empirical results and discussion" section verifies the research hypothesis, gives the research results, and discusses the results. "Conclusion and implications" section draws conclusions and theoretical implications.
