Research On Efficiency Evaluation Of Environment Regulation Of China

The concept of sustainable development was first proposed in human environment workshop of UN in 1972. It shows that environmental problem was strongly emphasized by the world. In the recent 40 years of world rapid development, environment pollution triggers too much tragedies so that the public has to reach the consistent conclusion the environment problem has been the culprit of economic long prosper development. So the solution of environment problem has been becoming the common subject of the world.It is proved by the theory researches and practical experiences that the environment problem can not be solved only by the invisible hand of market. So for achieving the maximum social welfare, the visible hand of government should play its functions, that environment regulation, to realize the double-win target, not only protecting the environment but also developing economy. However, because of frequent government failure in environment regulation, the people gradually find that the government is not always omnipotent in solution. So for the existing target of environment regulation, we must evaluate the efficiency of environment regulation of China.The paper elaborates the definitions of environment regulation, efficiency, efficiency of environment regulation, efficiency evaluation of environment regulation, and then designs the index system of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation of china:first, the short and long target of index system of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation is introduced; second, we state the train of thought of index system of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation and third manifest the principles of index system of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation; in the end, we design the index system of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation, including the index of environment regulation cost, that is, human input index, material input index and capital input index, and the index of environment regulation benefits, that is, pollution control index and environment quality. Following, the paper compares DEA model method with other methods of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation, and gets the advantages of DEA model. And then discovers the virtues of SE-DEA model in comparison with DEA model. At the end, SE-DEA model is chosen for measuring the efficiency of environment regulation.The positive of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation of China is divided into two parts:one is based on the national level and the other is grounded on the regional level. The evaluation result of efficiency of environment regulation based on the national level is that in 2000-2009, efficiency of environment regulation is not improved fundamentally, though the input of human, material and capital rising yearly and the benefits from the ability of pollution control and environment quality enhancing annually. Whereas, the evaluation result of efficiency of environment regulation based on the regional level is that in 2003-2009, the efficiency of environment regulation of local government is different; some of provinces show the efficient and steady or annual rising trend, including Hainan, Gansu, Ningxia, and Sichuan, among which Tianjin, Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong achieve the double-win target with government environment regulation and market economic development. And efficiency of environment regulation of other provinces represents low efficiency and annual declining or non-regular trend.Following, we analyze the reasons of inefficiency of environment regulation based on the regulator, the regulated and public and introduce the main practice of improvement of efficiency of environment regulation in prime developed countries, which make us attain the enlightenments and then we propose the policy suggestions:1) for the regulator:they should strengthen the law system of environment regulation, build absolute independent environment regulatory institutions, set cross-administrative-district environment regulatory coordinating organizations, create cross-administrative-district environment regulatory system, re-design the tools of environment regulation, improve the standard system of environment regulation, realize avyanadhana of efficiency evaluation of environment regulation, enhance the input system of public funds and reinforce the supervisory system in process and punishment system in disposal; 2) for the regulated:they should strengthen the environment management will and capability and increase the approval degree of environment regulatory policies; 3) for public, they should be organized by efficient participation system and enhance the public will of supervisory environment regulation.Conclusion, with the theory of cost-benefit analysis of regulatory efficiency, the paper deeply researches the efficiency of environment regulation of China, using not only normative analysis and positive analysis, but also qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, as well as macro analysis and industrial analysis. The paradigm of research can be applied in all kinds of fields.
