As the developing of China's industrialization,industrial sector had become the important component of the whole economic system.The development of industry had remarkable effect on China's rapid economic increase.While due to industry production contained a variety of chemical reaction process,it was easy to emission many kinds of harmful gases,such as sulfur dioxide,nitrogen oxides and dust.And these gases finally led to haze pollution.Haze pollution had brought serious damage to life and health,so the government paid much attention to it.However,it was also unrealistic for giving up the flourishing development of industrialization in exchange of clean air.Therefore,seeking the path of decoupling between industrial development and haze pollution had become the best mood of keeping economic and social development.Therefore,the government was bound to enhance environmental regulation constraints to promote green transition of the economy.In this view,this paper analyzed environmental regulations' effects on decoupling between industrial development and haze pollution,under four types of economic activities:enterprise investment,industrial cluster,industry transfer and foreign direct investment.In this paper,the main work included:Firstly,this paper theoretically analyzed the mechanism of industrial development and haze pollution decoupling under environmental regulation constraints.Based on four perspectives respectively,including individual behavior of enterprise investment,enterprise group behavior of' industrial cluster,dynamic behavior of industrial structure adjustment and foreign economic activity of foreign direct investment,this part interpreted the mechanism of industrial development and haze pollution decoupling under environmental regulation constraints,focused on enterprise investment preference,industrial agglomeration environmental externalizations,industries' migration and foreign direct investment ' s green spillover effect.Secondly,this paper expounded the relationship between environmental regulation and haze pollution decoupling.It proved that there exists stable co-integration relationship and strong positive correlation between environmental regulation and haze pollution decoupling.Environmental regulation was the reason of haze pollution decoupling both in long-term and short-term,.In short-term,if environmental regulation enhanced had caused haze pollution decoupling strength from its equilibrium level,haze pollution decoupling could be forced to return to the equilibrium level through a reverse revision mechanism.Thirdly,this paper interpreted environmental regulation's haze decoupling effect from the view of enterprise investment preference.Results showed that environmental regulation impacted haze pollution decoupling through technology investment preferences and financial investment preferences.As environmental regulation intensity increased,the effect of enterprise technology investment preference on haze pollution decoupling also increased,the effect of enterprise financial investment preference on haze pollution decoupling raised up before fall.Focused on heterogeneous of enterprise scale,as environmental regulation intensity increased,the effect of large scale enterprise technology investment preferences on haze pollution decoupling decreased,the effect of small scale enterprise technology investment preference on haze pollution decoupling increased,the effect of large scale enterprise financial investment preferences on haze pollution decoupling raised up before fall,the effect of small scale enterprise financial investment preferences on haze pollution decoupling decreased.When focusing on heterogeneous of enterprise property,as environmental regulation intensity increased,local state-owned enterprise technology investment preferences' effect on haze pollution decoupling increased,private-owned enterprise technology investment preferences' effect on haze pollution decoupling existed in the first threshold range,both of local state-owned and private-owned enterprise financial investment preferences' effect on haze pollution decoupling increased.Fourthly,this paper interpreted environmental regulation's haze decoupling effect from the view of industry cluster.Results showed that the effect of industry cluster on haze pollution decoupling existed a turning point.As industry cluster rose to a certain level,it would promote haze pollution decoupling,and environmental regulation could enhance the effect of industry cluster on haze pollution decoupling.The mechanism of improving industry productivity and sharing pollution treatment infrastructure played important role in above process.Fifthly,this paper interpreted environmental regulation's haze pollution decoupling effect from the view of migration of industries.Results showed that outward migration of heavy pollution industries could significantly promote regional haze pollution decoupling,the stronger environmental regulation,the more obvious haze pollution decoupling effect.Heavy pollution industry transfer took the space adjacent transfer mode,surrounding areas' heavy pollution industry transfer might have obscure effect on own regional haze pollution decoupling;but if one region strengthened its own environmental regulation,the negative effect of surrounding areas' heavy pollution industry migration on one region's haze pollution decoupling intensity could be effectively reduced,due to forcing surrounding areas' heavy pollution industry to move far away.Heavy pollution industry transfer did not obviously take the 'search for paradise ' transfer mode,but this negative effect would be more serious as the gap between the environmental regulation intensities of two areas escalates.Sixthly,this paper interpreted environmental regulation's haze decoupling effect from the view of foreign direct investment(FDI).Results showed that three types of FDI could all significantly promote decoupling of regional industrial development and haze pollution,and the influence of upstream of heavy pollution industry FDI was the strongest.Besides,the increase of environmental regulation intensity could help promoting haze pollution decoupling of three types of FDI.Only when the haze pollution decoupling intensity ascended to a higher level,environmental regulation would have positive adjustment on the positive relationship between heavy pollution industry FDI and haze pollution decoupling.As haze pollution decoupling intensity was highest,the adjustment of environmental regulation's haze pollution decoupling effect on upstream industry and downstream industry FDI would be the strongest.Lastly,based on all these research conclusions.this paper helped to design environmental regulations and put forward corresponding policy recomnmendations for promoting the decoupling between industrial development and haze pollution.It could promote sustainable development and give all people the chance to share the achievements of economic development,so as to improve human being's quality of life and achieve social harmony and progress.
