This study analyzes the effects of local environmental protection expenditure on environmental governance in China. The results show that local environmental protection expenditure can help reduce industrial pollution emissions in cities, but the governance effects vary across different city groups. Additionally, the study finds that the trans-regional governance effect of local environmental protection expenditure is more significant when dealing with pollutants with strong spillover potential.
China's economy is experiencing a rapid revival in the post Covid-19 era, while energy consumption is surging and environmental pressure is prominent. Environmental protection expenditure is an important means for local governments to improve environmental quality; it plays a crucial role in guiding market investment, providing environmental treatment funds and energy conservation and utilization. Based on a sample of 286 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2017, this study analyzes environmental governance effects of local envi-ronmental protection expenditure while considering the time duration, regional differences, and spatial spillover characteristics of industrial pollution emissions. The results reveal that local environmental protection expen-diture could help reduce industrial pollution emissions in Chinese cities; however, the governance effects were heterogeneous in different clustering city groups. In addition, the effects of environmental protection expendi-ture at the neighborhood level varied greatly; the results showed that the stronger the spillover of pollutants, the more significant was the trans-regional governance effect of local environmental protection expenditure. Therefore, local governments should promote a cooperative mode of joint prevention and control and cross -regional governance when treating pollutants with strong spillover potential.
