| In the era of industrial civilization,human society and economy have achieved tremendous development,but also caused resource abuse,environmental pollution,global warming and other problems,which have affected the sustainable development of human beings.Concerned about the future of human beings,the people put forward the idea of ecological civilization,and human society gradually stepped into the era of ecological civilization.Academic expert regard the resource environment as the ecological capital which can be added value,in order to promote the preservation and increase of the resource environment by means of "capital".The government has put forward the strategy of "pollution prevention and control",put forward the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" and included it in the strategy of ecological civilization construction.These strategic measures also affect the increment of ecological capital.The influencing factors and value-added strategies of ecological capital have become a hot topic in academic research.This paper expands the connotation of ecological capital increment,and holds that ecological capital increment includes value increment and quantity increment,and uses PSR and DPSIR models for reference to set up the analysis framework of state(S)-impact(I)-strategy(T)of ecological capital increment to construct the mechanism of ecological capital increment.Taking the panel data of Beibu Gulf Economic Zone from 2006 to 2019 as an example,this paper conducts an empirical study on the influencing factors and value-added strategies of ecological capital appreciation.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:1.Status of ecological capital increment in beibu gulf economic zone(S):(1)the value increment of ecological capital increased year by year,while the ratio of it to GDP decreased year by year,from 2.25 in 2009 to 1.20 in 2016,indicating that the level of ecological economization has been improved;(2)The quantity increment of ecological capital in Beibu Gulf Economic Zone increased year by year,with an annual growth rate of 2.4%;The demand for ecological capital increased year by year,with an annual growth rate of 7.87%;The supply of ecological capital also increased in value year by year,with an annual growth rate of 0.862%,but far lower than the growth rate of ecological capital demand,and the ecological deficit increased year by year.The occupation of ecological capital stock also increased year by year,with an annual growth rate of5.31%.(3)The rise of ecological deficit and ecological capital stock occupation indicates that regional development is becoming increasingly unsustainable.2.Impact of ecological capital appreciation(I):(1)Factors affecting the value increment of ecological capital are divided into supply and demand,and demand is composed of ecological demand of people’s livelihood and economic demand.Supply factor and ecological demand of people’s livelihood positively affect the value increment of ecological capital,while economic demand negatively affects the value increment of ecological capital.(2)Factors affecting the increment of ecological capital quantity: changes in the supply and demand of ecological capital are the direct factors affecting the increment of ecological capital quantity,while environmental regulation and high-quality economic development are representative indirect factors.Economic demand,livelihood demand and resource endowment supply positively affect the increment of ecological capital quantity;(3)The threshold effect of the increment of ecological capital quantity:with environmental regulation as the explanatory variable and energy consumption as the threshold variable,the increment of ecological capital quantity has double thresholds,and both demand and supply have single thresholds;After crossing the threshold value,the positive influence of environmental regulation on the increment of ecological capital quantity,demand and supply is strengthened.(4)Spatial effect of ecological capital increment: the value increment of ecological capital has significant positive and direct spatial effect on ecological carrying capacity,high-quality economic development and their interaction;The quantitative increment of ecological capital has significant positive and direct spatial effects on environmental regulation,high-quality economic development and their interactions.The impact of economic factors,high-quality development factors and supply factors on the value increment of ecological capital is spatiotemporal heterogeneity.There is spatial heterogeneity in the influence of high-quality economic development and environmental regulation on the increment of ecological capital quantity.3.Ecological capital appreciation strategy(R):(1)Government regulation ecological capital accumulation strategy: adopt strict environmental regulation and control policies.Under the active promotion of the government,through regulating the supply and demand of ecological capital,carbon emissions are reduced,carbon sequestration is increased,and finally carbon peak and carbon neutralization are affected.(2)High-quality economic development Ecological capital value-added strategy: to achieve high-quality economic development through the development of ecological economy,ecological industrialization,ecological industry;(3)Externality internalized ecological capital appreciation incentive strategy: through the construction of externality internalized incentive measures,and the government’s environmental regulation and control,encourage enterprises and the public to take effective measures to promote the appreciation of ecological capital;(4)The ecological market strategy of ecological economy: perfect the ecological market and realize the adjustment of market price;(5)Spatial effect and threshold effect of ecological capital appreciation Strategy: Make full use of spatial effect and threshold effect of ecological capital appreciation to promote ecological capital appreciation. |
