“…With the concept of green development put forward, environmental regulations will be continuously improved. As a means of government intervention on resources and environmental issues (Ya'u et al 2021), environmental regulation plays an irreplaceable role in solving the externalities of environmental pollution and correcting market failures. Integrating ecological regulation into the analysis framework of export trade can better change the mode of economic development and thus alleviate the contradiction between economic development and ecological environment (Usman et al 2020a).…”

Based on panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper constructs a quantile regression econometric model to analyze whether China's environmental regulation has an impact on export trade and to verify whether the Porter hypothesis has been valid in China in recent years. The results show that in the short term, environmental regulations have a restraining effect on export trade, while in the long run, due to the existence of innovation efficiency, environmental regulations will change from having a restraining effect to a promoting effect on export trade. Strict environmental regulations will reduce the production cost of Chinese products, further improve the export competitiveness of Chinese enterprises, and promote export trade. The empirical results verify the conclusion that the Porter hypothesis is confirmed in China. The following three suggestions are proposed for China's exports to promote the win-win of China's green development and export trade: promote the realization of international and domestic double circulation, avoid becoming "pollution shelters" and support technological innovation in environmental protection industries.

“…Research into company practices to comply with regulatory regimes has been typically grounded in the assumption that compliance is desirable and the best societal outcomes are achieved by strict adherence to regulatory goals (Haines & Gurney, 2003). Regulatory scholarship either addresses compliance generically (Ayres & Braithwaite, 1992; Baldwin et al, 2012; Baldwin & Black, 2008; Nielsen & Parker, 2012) or considers compliance in relation to a single regulatory goal such as environmental performance (Gunningham et al, 2005; Ramírez & Palos‐Sánchez, 2018; Trevlopoulos et al, 2021; Ya'u et al, 2021), food safety (Brough et al, 2016; Fairman & Yapp, 2005; Fietz et al, 2018), and taxation (V. Braithwaite, 2016b; Larsen & Brøgger, 2021). Another strand of literature deals with the increasing complexity of regulation and thus the increasing compliance cost for companies (Herring, 2018; Younis et al, 2009).…”

Regulatory conflict and a latent public safety risk? The case of gas infrastructure

While the literature on regulatory compliance is extensive, little scholarly attention has focused on how companies respond to conflicting regulatory requirements. As a case in point, gas pipelines and networks—deemed monopolies—are subject to economic regulation to emulate the price pressures of competition and encourage “efficient” expenditure. Technical (safety) regulation of the same infrastructure also addresses an expenditure trade‐off with safety, potentially drawing different conclusions as to the most appropriate balance. This article reports on a study—drawing on 49 interviews, document review and case studies—analyzing if these two regulatory regimes, as enacted in Australia, are in conflict. We find a significant tension between the two regimes, exhibited through the impact that economic regulation has on a company's planned safety‐related expenditure and thus, long‐term public safety outcomes may be at risk. Australian safety regulation is performance‐based, requiring “reasonably practicable” measures are in place to minimize risk to the public. The San Bruno California disaster, in which eight people died as a result of failed gas infrastructure in the US, shows that such regulatory conflicts also exist in jurisdictions that have adopted prescriptive forms of safety regulation.
