“…Compared with other incentive environmental regulation means, its scope of action is more extensive, and it has more stringent mandatory guidelines. Faced with the severe constraints caused by the mandatory environmental regulation policy, enterprises will make decisions according to their own situation, showing heterogeneous self-selection behavior, namely, transfer, upgrading or transformation [45,46]. For small businesses, due to their financial and technical constraints, the cost of environmental regulation cannot be internalized in a short period of time, and relocation or being shut down become the main responses for dealing with the environmental regulation policy.…”

Environmental regulations have a certain impact on regional green technology innovation affected by regional differences. Using the panel data of 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) from 2011 to 2019, we consider China’s new environmental protection law (NEPL) as a quasi-natural experiment to evaluate the impact of environmental regulation on green technology innovation in a difference-in-differences (DID) framework and further analyze the influences of regional differences. The results indicate that environmental regulations can promote regional green technology innovation, and that regional differences have a significant impact on this issue. Furthermore, environmental regulations in regions with high and low levels of economic development and education, and regions with medium and low levels of energy consumption have a significant impact on green technology innovation. The government should reasonably formulate environmental regulation policies on the basis of regional differences, encourage cross-regional exchanges and cooperation, and more efficiently stimulate regional green technology innovation to achieve sustainable development.

“…Dong et al ( 2019 ) use a two-sector technological model to investigate the effect of subsidies and directed technologies on environmental quality, and find that clean R&D subsidies can effectively change technological direction to improve environmental quality in the long run. Milani ( 2017 ) examines empirically the impact of environmental regulations on R&D innovation in manufacturing industries of OECD countries, and finds that pollution intensity and the relative ease of relocation are the determinants of the effect of environmental policy on innovation. As environmental policies become more restrictive, pollution-intensive industries innovate less and immobile industries innovate more than mobile industries.…”

Based on the Government Work Report of 265 prefecture-level cities in China from 2004 to 2015, this article combines economic growth expectations data and keyword capture to explore the relationship between government economic growth expectations and air pollution. The main results are as follows: (1) The economic growth expectations of local governments, and the "increment" between prefecture-level and provincial governments' growth expectations for economic growth have significantly increased air pollution. The certainty and completion degree of economic growth expectations have different effects on air pollution, and the impact of the expected rigid constraint and overfulfilled degree on air pollution are prominent. When the city's real economic growth exceeds 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of growth expectations, respectively, SO 2 emissions will increase by 10.577%, 10.671%, 11.825%, and 16.296%, and PM 2.5 concentration will increase by 2.115%, 2.503%, 3.592%, and 4.421%.(2) The government's annual economic growth expectations have different effects on different types of technological innovation. For every 1% increase in the government's economic growth expectations, the green technology will be reduced by 0.956% which exacerbates regional air pollution. Furthermore, the green technology can explain 6.5% of air pollution induced by government economic growth expectations.
