Abstract
In recent years, the continuous development of economy has also promoted the vigorous development of China's paper industry, but the disadvantages of paper industry such as large water consumption and serious pollution are more prominent. Therefore, the government has formulated a series of environmental regulation policies to restrict the heavy pollution in the production process of paper industry. Research on the impact of environmental regulation on the technological innovation of the paper industry in the new era is conducive to improve the quality policy of environmental supervision of China's paper industry, which has good theoretical value and practical significance. The data in this paper are from a series of indicators of the paper industry from 2009 to 2018. Among them, the indicators to measure the level of technological innovation and the indicators to calculate the intensity of environmental regulation are selected. The relationship between the two is empirically analyzed by grey correlation method and regression analysis. The empirical results show that environmental regulation has a positive impact on technological innovation of China's paper industry.
Highlights
At present, sustainable development has become the main strategy of China's economic development
This paper mainly studies the impact of environmental regulation on the technological innovation of the paper industry, which will be conducive to improve the quality management of environmental supervision of China's paper industry, and has good theoretical value and practical guiding significance
Lanoie and Ambec [7] conducted a statistical analysis of data from many factories in the European Union, the results showed that environmental supervision could promote environmental innovation, and reduce production costs under certain conditions
Summary
Sustainable development has become the main strategy of China's economic development. The results showed that environmental regulation has a positive effect on technological innovation, and has a certain guiding significance, but for different industries, the promotion ability of environmental regulation is different Shuangxi He [19] studied the impact of environmental regulation on technological innovation of paper industry based on the relevant data of China's paper industry from 2004 to 2012. Yumei He and Qiao Luo et al [20] conducted an empirical analysis based on the number of provincial panels in China from 2007 to 2014, the results show that: there is a significant positive correlation between environmental regulation and technological innovation, and environmental regulation can improve productivity through promoting technological innovation This draws the conclusion that whether the "strong Porter Hypothesis" is tenable depends on the intensity of environmental regulation, and the implementation of more stringent environmental regulation will help to improve the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises. The results show that: the impact of environmental regulation on technological innovation is significantly positive
