摘要
Since the mid-1990s, China's environmental regulation efforts have been mainly focusing on regions that are severely polluted. The "33211" regions (3 rivers of Huai, Hai and Liao; 3 lakes of Tai, Chao and Dianchi; 2 "control zones" for air pollution by sulfur dioxide and acid rain; 1 city of Beijing; 1 sea of Bohai) are top on the priority list for government at central and provincial levels. This paper estimates the impacts of the designation of key counties in the three rivers and three lakes basins for limiting water pollutant (chemical oxygen demand) and the two control zones for air pollutant (sulfur dioxide) on industrial activity (e.g. employment, capital stock, and gross output) in the manufacturing and public utility sectors. Our main data source is the Annual Surveys of Industrial Production 1998-2007 which were conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics of China. This firm-level data is linked to the second dataset which comes from various government documents on the designation of key counties for limiting emissions. Our preliminary results suggest that the regulations deter the growth of polluters. Over the period of 1998-2007, the regulated counties (relative to non-regulated ones) lost about 811,000 jobs, 323 billion in capital stock, and 123 billion (1990 Chinese yuan) of output in polluting industries. The decline in industrial activity was modest compared to the size of the entire sector. These findings are robust across many specifications.
