The Impact Of Environmental Regulation On Industrial Structure Adjustment

In the context of global economic integration, the level of economic development of countries rising, the international division of labor will refine the industry to a new height, but the environmental issues are becoming increasingly serious. Face the dilemma States of "rapid economic development" and "a serious deterioration of the environment", the countries control and prevention of environmental pollution through implement the different of environmental regulation policies. Because there is a big difference in the level of economic devel opment and the actual situation of countries, resulting the countries chosen implement difference environmental regulation tools and the strength of environmental regulation. At the same time, due to environmental regulation policy is mainly the implementa tion of specific companies, by increasing the internal cost companies to require companies to reduce environmental pollution and protect the environment, so that environmental regulation policy will have an impact on industrial restructuring through cost, technology, FDI and other channels. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the research and industrial structure to protect the environment combine to explore the intrinsic motivation if countries stringent environmental regulations can be used as industrial restructuring, promote industrial restructuring and upgrading, which countries, particularly in environmental resources "bottleneck " the developing countries to achieve a win-win upgrade the industrial structure and environmental protection is of great theoretical and practical significance.In this regard, this paper based on past environmental regulation cost, technology, the impact of FDI, the analysis of environmental regulation on the theory of industrial structure adjustment mechanisms of influence. Secondly, analysis the world’s of the evolution of industrial structure and the current status of the environment regulations. Then, using empirical method to analyze the impact of environmental regulation on industrial restructuring for countries and to distinguish between developed and developing countries were analyzed. On this basis, the non-linear relationship exists between the two, the threshold effect study of environmental regulation on industry restructuring and measures the threshold. Specific re sults are as follows:First, as a whole, the relationship between environmental regulation and industrial structure adjustment coefficient are inverted "U" shaped arise. When environmental regulation is weak, increase the intensity of environmental regulat ion, the industrial restructuring have some obstacles, inhibiting the industry development to a more advanced stage. When environmental regulations to further improve the strength, across the threshold value, stringent environmental regulations will stimulate a country’s industrial structure optimization and upgrading.Secondly, the distinction between developed and developing countries view, the inflection point of environmental regulations in developed countries impact on the intensity of the industry structure adjustment is greater than in developing countries, indicating that developing countries to implement strict environmental regulations to achieve the threshold faster, promote industrial restructuring. In addition, foreign direct investment, human capital, economic development and foreign trade also has some influence on the industrial structure adjustment, and this effect there is a difference between developed and developing countries.Finally, the point of view construct threshold effects and spec ific threshold threshold regression model to study environmental regulation and industrial structure adjustment, if the regulatory environment for the production of variable threshold, found that as environmental regulation strength from weak to strong, in dustrial structure adjustment It will have to suppress the influence after promotion. When one adheres to strict environmental regulation strength, which can stimulate enterprises to independent innovation, the rise of new industries and development of a c ountry is conducive to adjusting the industrial structure, to achieve high-rise; if ln PGDP as variable threshold, found that when compared with the level of economic development low, increase the value of a country but also the pursuit of a second industry-led, stringent environmental regulations will increase the strength of the increase of production costs, hamper its industrial restructuring. When raise the level of economic development, people’s income levels rising, high environmental quality requirements at this time, the implementation of strict environmental regulations will stimulate the country’s industrial center of gravity of a shift from the second industry to the third industry, optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
