Research On The Impact Of Environmental Regulation On The Upgrading Of Industrial Structure

From the implementation of the strictest environmental protection law in history in 2015,to the proposal to resolutely win the battle against pollution in 2020,to the latest "14th Five-Year Plan" announced by the Party Central Committee,it is emphasized that by 2035,we must not only achieve basic ecological environment For the better,we must work hard to transform modernization into a man and nature coexist in harmony,which has released a positive signal for the implementation of the strictest environmental protection policy.This requires us not only to always uphold and keep the ecological development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains",but also to achieve the development of social by completely getting rid of the production model of high energy consumption and high emissions.It is not difficult to see from this that whether it is to emphasize the concept of green development from the theoretical level to implement the promotion of cleaning-energy production from the practical level,the ultimate goal is to achieve high-quality economic operation and development,so a good balance is particularly important.It is precisely because of the government and enterprises are paying more and more attention to the role of environmental regulations in coordinating environmental pollution and high-quality economic development,and the industrial structure’s upgrading is a pretty vital indicator to measure high-quality economic development,so it is necessary to deeply study the relaitionship between environmental protection and industrial structure’s upgrading.This paper uses the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in my country from 2003 to 2018,and adds the square term of environmental regulation on the basis of the benchmark model to test its direct impact on the upgrading of industrial structure,and then adds environmental regulation and technological innovation,foreign direct investment,The interactive item of consumer demand is an empirical test of its indirect effect on the upgrading of industrial structure.The conclusion shows that environmental regulation can directly affect the upgrading of industrial structure through barrier effects,and it can also indirectly affect the upgrading of industrial structure through intermediate factors.Moreover,there are different degrees of regional heterogeneity whether it is direct or indirect.Therefore,the government should implement pertinent regulatory policies based on the actual impacts of different routes in different regions,and give full play to the positive impact of environmental regulations on the upgrading of industrial structure.
