Abstract
Environmental regulation is an important tool for the government to achieve haze pollution control. Based on data from 2006 to 2016 in the Pearl River Delta(PRD), this study first explores the spatial correlation characteristics of haze pollution, and then empirically analyzes the actual impact of environmental regulations on haze pollution. It is found that the Moran values of haze pollution are positive in most of the years in the PRD, and the haze pollution in the region increases by 0.234% for each additional 1% of haze pollution in the adjacent areas. Thus, haze pollution reflects the spatial clustering phenomenon. The higher the pollution emissions in various regions, the more severe the haze pollution in the region, and environmental regulations have a significant impact on the haze pollution in the PRD. The relationship between haze pollution and GDP per capita in the PRD does not conform to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), and the “U” relationship between economic development level and environmental pollution (haze pollution) does not appear. In addition, urban population size and industrial structure are also important factors affecting haze pollution in the PRD.
