Abstract
With the continuous increase of marine development, intensive economic activities have reduced the marine carbon efficiency and seriously damaged the marine ecological environment, which needs reasonable environmental regulations to guide. This study aims to examine the interactions between marine environmental regulation and carbon efficiency to achieve the goal of carbon emission reduction for the sustainability of marine ecosystem. This study empirically analyzes the heterogeneous effects and mediating effects of China's marine environmental policies on marine carbon efficiency using the mediating effects model and generalized moments estimation. The results show that there is a “U” shaped relationship between marine environmental regulation and marine carbon efficiency in China, marine environmental regulation can indirectly promote marine carbon efficiency through the transmission mechanism of resource allocation efficiency and structural optimization of marine industries. In addition, China's marine environmental regulation policies have regional heterogeneous effects on marine carbon efficiency. This study provides a new perspective for optimizing marine carbon efficiency and sustainable development of marine ecosystem.
