摘要: 基于随机前沿分析方法,本文采用中国工业企业数据库中38种产业的厂商数据,分析了环保政策对“中国制造”生产效率的影响。研究结果支持“弱”PH效应:较严格的环保规范会刺激厂商提升生产效率;环保政策对厂商的生产率影响受行业差异影响;环保政策对高污染企业产生的生产率效应比低污染企业更为显著;此外,环保政策的生产率效应存在滞后。因此,政府对污染企业实施更严厉的环保政策可达到环境改善和厂商效率提升的双重效果,但环保政策应考虑产业差异的影响,并制定配套措施协助厂商环保改造。

Abstract: Utilizing stochastic frontier method, this paper employed Chinese firm-level panel data over 1998-2006 to investigate the impact of environmental policy on production efficiency. Our empirical findings support the "weak" Porter hypothesis (PH): More stringent environmental regulation could be ultimately beneficial to the production efficiency of the manufacturing firms. However, the effects of environmental policies on productivity vary by industries, and productivity effect of high-polluting enterprises tends to be more significant than that of low-polluting enterprises. Moreover, the productivity effect of environmental policy has time lags. These results suggest that adopting more stringent environmental policies for polluting enterprises might achieve the dual effects of environment protection and efficiency improvement. However, industrial differences should be taken into account and transitional measures should be provided when designing environmental policies.
