The Effect Of Industry Transfer On Water Environment:Measurement,Mechanism And Countermeasures

Industry transfer is one of the vital approach for less developed areas to achieving leap-forward development,and it is also a key approach for the whole areas to promoting coordinated development.And nowadays,especially when the problem of regional unbalance emerges as a major issue,it has become more important than ever to take advantages of industry transfer,not only just for accelerating industrial restructuring in less developed areas but for freeing up additional space and resources in developed areas.However,industry transfer is usually accompanied by pollution transfer and this problems always stands out when the less developed areas are so sensitive to pollution emission,bringing the areas into a dilemma.In the view of this,this paper pays great attention to water environment which is closely linked with our life,and we mainly focus on the question that how industry transfer makes influences on water environment and successively solve it in three aspects: the measurement of effect of industry transfer on water environment,the mechanisms analysis of effect of industry transfer on water environment and the countermeasures for the development and pollution dilemma.Actually,dealing with the development and pollution dilemma caused by industry transfer is very crucial for our country to implement the concept of coordinated development and green development.Based on the ideas above,firstly,this paper takes Guangdong province as samples to analyze the total effect and the mechanism of industry transfer,whose gross economic magnitude accounts for over 80% and watershed areas accounts for24.5% of the whole Pearl River basin.The data cover 21 cities in Guangdong province and spans from 2000 to 2016.Also,we establish individual fixed effects regression model and intermediary effects model to solve these two problems.Secondly,we cites Fogang county in Guangdong province as a typical sample and uses the scenario analysis method to test the effect of countermeasures----Industrial Discharge Quota(IDQ),detecting to what extent it will decrease the wastewater emission and inspire the implementation of emission reduction policy.Finally,the major conclusion can be summarized as follows:(1)the relatively developed regionsin Pearl River Delta are regions primarily exporting industries and the less developed regions in middle and upper reaches play the main role to undertake them.(2)the direct effect of industry transfer on wastewater emission is positive,which means that for regions undertaking industries wastewater will increase emission and for regions exporting industries water environment will become better.(3)the technological effect of industry transfer on waster emission is negative,which means industry transfer will boost technologies in less developed regions and improve the efficiency of water resource use,decreasing wastewater emission indirectly,but the indirect effect still cannot offset the direct effect of industry transfer.(4)the volume effect of industry transfer on wastewater emission is not significant,which means that industry transfer will increase industrial output but this is not the main reason for the growth of wastewater emission,and it also reflects that the increasing industrial output depend more on technology improvement rather than water resource consumption.(5)supported by Industrial Discharge Quota(IDQ)policy,the wastewater emission can be reduced substantially and industry transfer can do better in enhancing the quality of economic development.
