Impact of Environmental Regulation on Chinese High Energy Consumption Products: Crude Steel Production as an Example

Abstract:

Environmental regulations intensity usually affected the environmental sensitivity production directly. Based on the annual data from 1994 to 2010 as the sample interval, this paper carries out the empirical analysis about the effect of economic growth and Chinese environmental regulations intensity on the crude steel production, research results show that the Chinese environmental regulation is the Granger cause of crude steel production, and environmental regulation has an adverse effect on crude steel production, Chinese economic growth promotes the growth of crude steel production.
