“…Environmental regulation, as a vital component of public regulation, is an effective approach to adjust market failure and has made a significant approach towards the coordinated development of China's economic development and environmental protection (Galinato and Chouinard, 2018;Wang et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2023). Environmental regulation is necessary because of the negative externalities of environmental pollution and the nature of environmental public goods.…”

Introduction: Environmental regulation, as a vital component of public regulation in China, plays a crucial role in coordinating regional eco-efficiency, while the traditional hypothesis, Porter hypothesis, and uncertainty hypothesis offer three different perspectives for understanding the relationship between industry performance and environmental regulations.Methods: Based on the assumption of industry heterogeneity, 81 public-private partnership (PPP) waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration projects are analyzed using panel data from 66 cities within China during the period from 2013 to 2017 with the aims to reveal the underlying mechanism behind environmental regulation and the government subsides of public-private partnership waste-to-energy incineration projects by using multiple regression modeling.Results: The results show that the impact of environmental regulation on government subsides of PPP WTE projects has demonstrated an “Inverted-U”-shaped relationship with an inflection point, of which an increase in environmental regulation is positively correlated with an increase in subsidies at first then a negative correlation developing later.Discussion: The findings are significant in setting flexible environmental regulations according to the needs of regional economic and social development. In addition, they also supply a theoretical reference for promoting the WTE incineration industry’s sustainable and healthy development.

“…Finally, local governments under China's special decentralization system view environmental regulation as a tool for competing for liquid resources [44][45][46][47]. Simultaneously, significant differences exist in the geographical locations and economic development levels of various cities in China, leading to notable "local-adjacent" effects among local governments.…”

This study utilizes the super-efficiency SBM model to assess green total factor productivity, employs textual analysis to assess formal environmental regulation, and applies the entropy weighting method to assess informal environmental regulation using a dataset of 284 cities between 2003 and 2020. This study also employs the two-way fixed effects model and SDM to empirically examine the impact of dual environmental regulation on urban green total factor productivity. Based on the research results, the overall trend indicates that dual environmental regulation has a positive “U”-shaped impact on the green total factor productivity of both local and neighboring areas, and the improvement of green total factor productivity in the local area will lead to a corresponding increase in the green total factor productivity of neighboring cities. Heterogeneity analysis shows that formal environmental regulation has a significant effect in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Basin, and non-resource-based cities, but not in the Bohai Rim Economic Circle or resource-based cities; in all regions outside the Pearl River Basin, informal environmental regulation has a non-linear “marginal increasing effect” on green total factor productivity. These findings remain robust to a number of robustness and endogeneity issues. The study findings indicate that to optimize the influence of dual environmental regulation on green total factor production, governments should meticulously devise new environmental regulations and build novel channels for regional collaboration to enhance their supportive effects.

“…Based on the definition of high-quality economic development by scholars [27], this paper argues that the high-quality, sustainable development of urban agglomeration economy is based on the five development concepts, forming a development state of urban agglomeration with innovative development power source, coordinated development space characteristics, green development natural form, open development international pattern, and sharing a good situation of development. Under this definition, this paper constructs a measurement index system for high-quality, sustainable economic development from the five dimensions of innovation, green development, coordination, openness, and sharing [19,28], as shown in Table 1. After analyzing the number and name of China's urban agglomerations in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Ref.…”

Based on the sample data of 149 cities in ten major urban agglomerations from 2004 to 2019, the entropy method, Dagum Gini coefficient, and three-dimensional kernel density estimation method are used to calculate and describe the spatial pattern of the high-quality, sustainable economic development of these ten major urban agglomerations. We then use the spatial econometric model to estimate the β convergence trend within the urban agglomerations and among the urban agglomerations at different levels. Our main findings include the following: First, the urban agglomeration tends to develop a high-quality economy, but the gap between the urban agglomerations can be large. Second, although the gap within the overall group of urban agglomerations is expanding, the gap between high-quality individuals and the average is constantly shrinking; the gap between groups is still the leading cause of the spatial gap, with a contribution rate of 70.51%. Third, all urban agglomerations have an absolute and conditional β convergence trend, and the convergence speed presents the characteristics of “high level slow, low level fast”. Government intervention, financial development, urbanization, and human capital contribute to the high-quality, sustainable economic development of each urban agglomeration. There is a heterogeneous influence; there is also absolute and conditional β convergence among urban agglomerations at all levels, and the convergence rate presents a gradient characteristic of “third level > second level > first level”, and by balancing the financial relationships between city groups within each level, development differences can promote the dynamic coordination of high-quality, sustainable economic development rates.
