Environmental decentralization, local government competition, and regional green development: Evidence from China
Open accessAbstract
Environmental management systems may play an important role in environmental pollution control. Given China's rapid economic development and increases in environmental pollution, this study attempts to study how environmental decentralization and local government competition affect China's regional green development. To show the green development degree of different provinces in China, the super-efficiency SBM-undesirable model is used to calculate the green total factor productivity of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2016. The panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR) is employed to empirically test the impact of environmental decentralization on regional green development. The dynamic threshold panel model is also used to analyze the possible nonlinear relationship between environmental decentralization and regional green development under different levels of local government competition. The results indicate that environmental decentralization and environmental administrative decentralization play significant roles in promoting regional green development, but environmental supervision decentralization and environmental monitoring decentralization have negative impacts on regional green development. The joint effect of local government competition and environmental decentralization produces the "race to bottom" effect, which reduces the efficiency level of regional green development. With the continuous strengthening of local government competition, the role of environmental decentralization in promoting regional green development efficiency decreases gradually. In addition, the relationship among environmental decentralization, local government competition, and regional green development differs across Chinese different regions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
