摘要

扶贫政策可以带来经济效益,但也可能产生环境成本。本文研究了中国 "电子商务进农村 "项目(ECC 项目)对当地空气质量的影响,该项目是世界上最大的定点扶贫战略之一。该项目覆盖了约 1 亿贫困人口。利用一套差分识别策略,我们发现,尽管扶贫的 ECC 政策在消除贫困方面发挥了作用,但却持续、显著地加剧了当地的空气污染。当地空气质量下降的主要原因是农村企业的增加、植被的破坏,以及向城市出售更多农产品的意图所导致的交通污染。在可持续发展过程中,扶贫政策的制定者面临着如何平衡减贫与环境保护的挑战。在做出决策时,必须考虑当地的环境法规、生态脆弱性和潜在的适应战略,以权衡经济效益与环境成本。

Poverty or pollution: The environmental cost of E-commerce for poverty reduction in China

Pro-poor policies can have economic benefits, but they may also have environmental costs. This paper examines the impact of China's “E-commerce into Countryside” project (the ECC project), one of the world's largest targeted poverty alleviation strategies, on local air quality. The project covers approximately 100 million poor people. Using a set of difference-in-differences identification strategies, we find that the pro-poor ECC policy has consistently and significantly contributed to local air pollution, despite its role in fighting poverty. The decline in local air quality is primarily caused by the increase in rural enterprises, destruction of vegetation, and traffic pollution resulting from the intention to sell more agricultural products to the city. Pro-poor policymakers face the challenge of balancing poverty reduction with environmental protection during the process of sustainable development. When making policy decisions, it is important to consider local environmental regulations, ecological vulnerability, and potential adaptation strategies in order to weigh economic benefits against environmental costs.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
