环境规制与区域技术创新——基于中国省际面板数据的实证分析

波特假说认为,恰当的环境规制政策能够促进技术创新.为了验证波特假说在我国的适用性,本文首先利用1999～2007年的中国省际面板数据对环境规制与技术创新的关系进行实证研究.实证结果显示,环境规制对核心创新指标产生了显著的正的影响,环境规制强度每提高1%,发明专利数量和实用新型专利数量就会分别增加0.17%和0.07%.结合实证研究结果,从改变资源配置、影响产业结构两种途径探讨了环境规制对区域技术创新的影响.从环境规制政策和技术创新激励政策的制定等角度提出了政策建议.

Environmental Regulation and Regional Technical Innovation:Empirical Study Based on China Provincial Panel Data

Porter Hypothesis points that proper environmental regulation can promote technical innovation. In order to verify its applicability in China, this paper firstly uses China provincial panel data from 1999 to 2007 to make empirical study of the relation between environmental regulation and technical innovation. The results reveal it is positive. When environmental regulation increases 10%,invention patent and utility model patent increases 0. 17 % and 0. 07 %. Then, this paper discusses the transmission mechanism from changing resource allocation and industrial structure. Finally, it gives some suggestions from the decision of environmental regulation and technical innovation.
