摘要: |
基于全球经济失衡与中国贸易收支持续顺差的事实,欧美国家继“人民币汇率操纵
论”之后又抛出“中国环境威胁论”,认为中国贸易竞争力源于宽松的环境规制政
策。本文使用面板数据方法对中国区域环境规制对贸易竞争力的影响进行了实证检验,
结果显示中国区域贸易竞争力并非源于“宽松环境规制”。欧美国家提出的“中国环
境威胁论”及相应的“碳排放边界调节税”只不过是单边贸易保护主义的借口。 |

Abstract: |
The developed countries argued that poor environmental regulations improved the trade competitiveness
of China. This paper uses the 30 provincial panel data of 1997~2010 in China to analyse the effects on trade
competitiveness of environmental regulations. The results show that the environmental regulations have not affected
the China’s provincial trade competitiveness. The argument of climate threat is just a unilateral action of trade
protectionism in the context of global economic slowdown. As a result, environmental regulation will not do harm
to the trade competitiveness of China, but is good to our environmental quality. |
Key words: environmental regulations trade protectionism trade competitiveness |
