CGE modeling with disaggregated pollution treatment sectors for assessing China's environmental tax policies

Gen Li et al.

Summary: This research involved constructing a CGE model to evaluate China's environmental tax policies, finding that these policies can reduce pollutant emissions but also have negative impacts on GDP. Additionally, disaggregating pollution treatment sectors in the CGE model may lead to underestimation of the pollution treatment effectiveness of environmental tax policies.

Can stable environmental protection officials' tenure reduce illegal emissions?

He Li et al.

Summary: The study explores the impact of environmental protection officials' tenure (EPLT) on illegal emissions, finding that stable EPLT can reduce illegal emissions by increasing environmental information disclosure and environmental subsidies, but can also increase illegal emissions by weakening public pollution reporting and media supervision, environmental law enforcement, and promoting corruption.

The impact of government-enterprise collusion on environmental pollution in China

Kai Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that collusion between government and enterprises has a significant impact on SO2 emissions, especially in cities with longer terms for regional officials, foreign-owned or small-scale enterprises, and labor-intensive industries. Adjustments to existing environment and personnel management policies in China are needed for more sustainable development.

Can subsidies rather than pollution taxes break the trade-off between economic output and environmental protection?

Thomas I. Renstrom et al.

Summary: This study builds a general equilibrium dynamic model involving individual investors, where investors' portfolio choices affect firms' abatement activities, and the impact of tax policies on various aspects of the economy is investigated. The results suggest that increasing pollution tax may reduce pollution but also decrease consumption and economic scale, while increasing subsidies for abatement activities may help increase the economic scale and reduce pollution.

Do environmental regulations and financial constraints stimulate corporate technological innovation? Evidence from China

Yiqing He et al.

Summary: The study investigates the interrelationship between environmental regulations, financial constraints, and technological innovation in Chinese listed firms. The results show that environmental regulations have a crowding out effect on R&D input and patent outputs, and financial constraints mediate the relationship between environmental regulations and technological innovation. The moderating effect of financial constraints on the relationship between environmental regulations and technological innovation is mixed.
