Abstract
Based on the panel data of 18 heavy polluting industries from 34 industrial industries in my country as samples, empirical analysis of the impact of environmental regulations, energy structure, enterprise scale, corporate competitiveness, and technological innovation on carbon emissions of heavy polluting industries. And by constructing a dynamic GMM model to analyze the lag effect of environmental regulations on carbon emissions. The results show that: environmental regulations have a significant negative effect on carbon emissions, and the previous environmental regulations have a restraining effect on carbon emissions in the current period; energy structure will increase carbon emissions; technological innovation, enterprise scale, corporate competitiveness, etc. affect carbon emissions Has a negatively significant effect.
Highlights
Since the reform and opening up, Chinese industry has created huge economic output and has become a very important part of supporting sustained economic growth
Taking into account the differences in technological innovation of different industry scales, as well as the competitiveness of different industries, different energy consumption intensity and energy consumption will have an impact on industrial carbon emissions, so this article selects technological innovation (TECH), enterprise scale (CSIZE), and R&D Input, number of patent applications (TECH), total industry assets (TIA), industry profit margin (IP); energy consumption structure (RENE), energy consumption intensity (ECI); industry competitiveness (IC) as control variables
The study finds that environmental regulations and industrial carbon emissions are negatively correlated with each other
Summary
Since the reform and opening up, Chinese industry has created huge economic output and has become a very important part of supporting sustained economic growth. With the rapid expansion of industrial scale, excessive energy consumption has led to the increasingly prominent phenomenon of carbon emissions, which has aroused widespread attention from domestic and foreign researchers on the low-carbon development of the industry: researchers are both concerned about global warming caused by carbon emissions. Worry about the adverse effects of carbon emission reduction on the economy. According to data from the US Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, China's total carbon emissions surpassed the United States to become the world's largest carbon emitter in 2006, and reducing carbon emissions has far-reaching significance for a carbon emitting country like China
