摘要
城市污染治理需要政府、社会和企业的共同参与,而环境信息公开政策则是促进多方参与的新工具。本研究旨在利用中国城市的数据,探讨环境信息公开政策对区域环境质量的影响。通过分析,本研究得出以下结论。首先,环境信息公开政策不仅有效降低了城市环境污染,而且表现出明显的空间溢出效应。该政策对周边城市空气污染的影响呈现出先上升后下降的倒 U 型格局,这种外部效应的最佳半径估计为 250 千米。其次,机制检验结果表明,政府监管力度和清洁工业替代品是抑制城市环境污染的重要渠道。最后,异质性检验结果表明,环境信息公开政策对环境污染的抑制作用在文明城市、"两控区 "城市、二氧化硫控制区以及污染信息透明度指数高的城市更为明显。
Optimal governance radius of environmental information disclosure policy: Evidence from China
Urban pollution governance requires the joint participation of government, society, and enterprises, with the environmental information disclosure policy serving as a novel tool to promote multi-stakeholder engagement. This study aims to delve into the impact of the environmental information disclosure policy on regional environmental quality by using data from Chinese cities. Through analysis, the study gets the following conclusions. Firstly, the environmental information disclosure policy not only effectively reduces urban environmental pollution but also exhibits an apparent spatial spillover effect. The impact of this policy on air pollution in neighboring cities shows an inverted U-shaped pattern of first rising and then falling, with the optimal radius of this external effect estimated at 250 km. Secondly, the results of the mechanism test indicate that government regulatory efforts and clean industry alternatives are essential channels for curbing urban environmental pollution. Lastly, the heterogeneity test shows that the inhibitory effect of the environmental information disclosure policy on environmental pollution is more pronounced in civilized cities, cities in the “two control zones”, sulfur dioxide control zones, and cities with high Pollution Information Transparency Index scores.
期刊介绍:
Economic Analysis and Policy (established 1970) publishes articles from all branches of economics with a particular focus on research, theoretical and applied, which has strong policy relevance. The journal also publishes survey articles and empirical replications on key policy issues. Authors are expected to highlight the main insights in a non-technical introduction and in the conclusion.
