绿色贸易壁垒冲击与环境治理改善:基于中国企业的证据
Impact of Green Trade Barriers and Improvement of Environmental Governance: Evidence from Chinese Firms
【摘要】 绿色贸易壁垒是发达国家惯常使用的贸易保护手段。本文尝试将中国工业企业数据库、中国工业企业污染数据库及中国海关数据库三方数据合并,以2005年入世后过渡期针对中国的绿色贸易壁垒爆发作为准自然实验,采用双重差分法研究绿色贸易壁垒对中国出口企业环境行为的影响。研究发现:总体上,绿色贸易壁垒能不同程度地改善出口企业的环境绩效,降低大气和水污染排放强度,提高用水效率。但存在较强的行业和地区异质性,制造业、高污染行业以及东部地区减排效应明显。影响机制显示,企业治理成本增加和绿色创新补偿是绿色贸易壁垒改善环境绩效的重要驱动力。政策含义表明,绿色贸易壁垒能够倒逼中国出口企业将绿色贸易壁垒转化为绿色转型动力,有效推进对外贸易的绿色高质量发展。
【Abstract】 Green trade barrier is the usual trade protection means used by developed countries.We try to answer whether Chinese export enterprises can adapt to the impact of green trade barrier in time and internalize it into the green transformation of enterprises.Taking the outbreak of green trade barriers in 2005 as the exogenous impact of quasi natural experiment, we use Difference-in-Differences(DID) model to analyze the impact of green trade barriers on the environmental behavior of Chinese export enterprises based on the matched tripartite micro database of Chinese industrial enterprises, Chinese industrial enterprises’ pollution data and Chinese customs data.The results of the study show that green trade barriers can improve the environmental performance of export enterprises in different degrees overall, the impact of which significantly reduces the emission intensity of air and water pollution and improves the water use efficiency of Chinese export enterprises.However, there are strong industry and regional heterogeneity.Export enterprises in the eastern region, manufacturing industry and high-pollution industry have obvious emission reduction effect, but they are quite different in other industries and regions.According to the mechanism analysis, enterprise green innovation compensation and end treatment cost crowding are important reasons for green trade barrier to improve environmental performance.The policy implications of this study show that Chinese export enterprises can transform the impact of green trade barriers into the endogenous driving force of their own green transformation and upgrading, which effectively promotes the high-quality development of Chinese foreign trade.
