Abstract

Using the panel-data of 30 regions during 2000-2011, the paper adopts the system GMM estimation method to analyze the effect of environmental regulation on production technology progress of 17 industries in industrial enterprise. The research results show that the impact of environmental regulation on the production technology progress of different industries varies. Some industries show a significant "U" shaped relationship or inverted "U" shaped relationship, while others had no significant impact on production technology progress; there is no relationship between the effect of environmental regulation on industry production technology and an industry's type of pollution. Finally, some suggestions are provided on how to strengthen environmental regulation with promote production technology progress.

Key words
