Analysis Of The Impact Of China’s Environmental Regulation On The Second Industrial Structure Adjustment

With the development of economy, the problem of environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. In the national economy, the second industry is a pillar industry, the destruction of the environment is mainly the second industry, on the contrary,the destruction of the ecological environment has also inhibited the development of the second industry.Therefore, to strengthen the environmental regulation intensity is imminent. Domestic and foreign scholars on the environmental regulation of the industrial structure adjustment related to the relevant analysis, but no environmental regulation on the second industrial structure adjustment of the relevant analysis. This paper analyzes the impact of environmental regulation on the second industrial structure adjustment from the theoretical and empirical analysis.In theory, this paper firstly introduces the related theories of environmental regulation and industrial structure adjustment, which lays a theoretical foundation for the following second industrial structure adjustment.Then introduced the general situation of China’s environmental regulation, the current environmental regulation tools used in our country are sewage charging system, tradable permit system, tax incentives and subsidies system.The second industrial structure of our country is facing the following problems: the proportion of the heavy industry development,the imbalance of regional development and the development of high-tech industry.On this issue, the analysis of the impact of environmental regulation on the second industrial structure adjustment is explored.In the empirical research, the panel data of 30 provinces 2004-2013, using multiple indicators to replace the environmental regulation intensity, on this basis, the establishment of multiple regression equation analysis of the impact of China’s environmental regulation on the industrial structure.The study structure shows that: the impact of environmental regulation on the adjustment of China’s second industrial structure has been initially apparent, but compared with the developed countries is still far away, there is still a lot of pressure.China’s environmental regulation and the second role of the industrial structure has obvious regional differences, in the eastern region, the effect of environmental regulation on the structure adjustment of the second industry is more significant, the central region is the second, the western region is the least significant. This is mainly due to implementing the different strength of the environmental regulation and economic development in eastern,central and western regions is different.Seeing environmental regulation in the analysis of the influence on the structure adjustment of the second industry, higher completion of the government’s industrial pollution control investment, regulatory efficiency is high,pollution related information more transparent, and enterprise is more constrained their production behavior, promote industrial enterprises to develop new technologies to reduce pollutant emissions and improve the output value, makes the enterprise upgrading and transformation, promote the adjustment mechanism of the secondary industry. Therefore,environmental regulation can promote the second industrial structure adjustment.Based on the above analysis, our country should increase the intensity of environmental regulation and environmental regulation agencies in reform, the implementation of regional differences in environmental regulation policy, perfect the legal system of environmental regulation, improve the system of environmental regulation method, the better the environmental regulation to promote the adjustment of the structure of the second industry.
