Description
Summary:It is a crucial problem encountered by Chinese water pollution control to clarify the relations between upgrading of Chinese industrial structure, the innovation of green technology and water environmental pollution. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities of China from 2004 to 2018, a dynamic simultaneous equation model is constructed to examine empirically the relations between the upgrading of industrial structure, the innovation of green technology and water environmental pollution in China. The results show: upgrading of industrial structure, the innovation of green technology and water environmental pollution of the lagged phase all show positive correlations with that of the current phase; upgrading of the industrial structure has bidirectional causality with water environmental pollution but has spiral upward relation with water environment quality; upgrading of the industrial structure shows asymmetric relation with the innovation of green technology, which has asymmetric relation with water environmental pollution; innovation of green technology promotes unidirectionally and significantly the upgrading of industrial structure, and water environmental pollution has inversed effects on innovation of green technology. Therefore, relevant governmental departments should strictly adhere to “the red line of environmental protection” and adjust the industrial structure timely and effectively when governing water environmental pollution.
