With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization in China, the ecological environment has been damaged, especially the air quality, which has negatively impacted the productivity and lives of residents. China has taken various measures to improve air quality, and industrial upgrading is one of these measures. This article uses urban and provincial data from 2015 to 2018 and a multilevel growth model to study how industrial upgrading can improve air quality. The following conclusions are drawn through empirical analysis. If industrial upgrading is not considered, with time, air quality will gradually deteriorate. However, once the country adopts strategic measures for industrial upgrading, the combined effect of industrial upgrading and time will improve air quality. Industrial upgrading and industrial restructuring jointly reduce air pollution and have a significant impact on the improvement of air quality. Company goals for economic profit and survival will eventually lead to overall industrial upgrades that have little effect on air improvement. According to the empirical results, this paper puts forward some suggestions to improve the air quality.
随着中国工业化和城市化的快速发展，生态环境遭到破坏，特别是空气质量，这对居民的生产力和生活产生了负面影响。中国采取了各种措施来改善空气质量，产业升级就是其中之一。本文利用 2015 年至 2018 年的城市和省级数据以及多层次增长模型，研究了产业升级如何改善空气质量。通过实证分析得出以下结论。如果不考虑产业升级，随着时间的推移，空气质量将逐渐恶化。但是，一旦国家采取产业升级的战略措施，产业升级和时间的综合效应将改善空气质量。产业升级和产业结构调整共同减少了空气污染，对空气质量的改善有显著影响。企业对经济利润和生存的目标最终将导致整体产业升级，对空气质量的改善影响不大。根据实证结果，本文提出了一些改善空气质量的建议。
