| Environmental problem is a worldwide focus, so as the effect of environmental regulation on economic. Technological innovation plays an important role in economic development, and the impact of environmental regulation on the technological innovation is bound to affect the economic development. To evaluate the relationship between environmental regulation and technological innovations of36industrial sectors in2001-2010of China, this paper used qualitative analysis to analysis the mechanism of action between them, including interactions, pathways and factors; Evaluated of technical efficiency under environmental regulation the TFP and environmental regulation costs using the directional distance function; Meanwhile, the constructed a comprehensive index system of environmental regulation and technological innovation using principal component analysis and used econometric models to further computational analysis to quantify the relationship between the two. Qualitative research found that environmental regulations can promote or hinder technological innovation and the role carried out by two ways, while showing strength and time effects; The average value of environmental technical efficiency was0.757, it showed that Chinese environment, energy and industrial growth in a more coordinated state(environmental efficiency greater than0.7), but there is still some energy saving and emission reduction space; The main driver of productivity growth is technological progress by ML index analysis, the increase of TFP during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" was mainly for technological progress; Measured using economic models found that environmental regulation had different effects for different industries:20industries have a positive effect, mainly the coordinated industry;16industries have a negative effect, and the degree of impact on different industries is different. Meanwhile, this paper analyzed the possible reasons for this phenomenon, and proposed appropriate policy recommendations. Finally, we gave policy advice from the national macro level and micro-level enterprises, expected to provide advice for the relevant government departments and business decision making. |
