Environmental regulation is a tool for teaching social and fiscal development that is carbon neutral. The highly polluting food industry in China is a threat to the country's long-term environmental stability and affects public health in a significant way. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of environmental parameters on environmental quality in China's food industry using the cross-sectionally augmented ARDL (CS-ARDL) model over the period of 2010 to 2019. We find that environmental regulations negatively and significantly impact environmental quality. The U-shape relationship exists between environmental regulation and environmental quality. Moreover, government expenditure on health and technological innovation reduces carbon emissions. The study's findings suggest new policy implications supporting the Porter Hypothesis. Finally, this paper offers policy suggestions for China's food industry to enhance its environmental performance.
环境规制是一种碳中性的社会和财政发展教学工具。中国高污染的食品行业对国家的长期环境稳定构成威胁,并对公众健康产生重大影响。因此,本研究使用 2010 年至 2019 年的横截面增强型 ARDL(CS-ARDL)模型,研究了环境参数对中国食品工业环境质量的影响。我们发现,环境法规对环境质量有负向和显著的影响。环境规制与环境质量之间存在 U 型关系。此外,政府在卫生和技术创新方面的支出减少了碳排放。研究结果支持波特假说,提出了新的政策建议。最后,本文为中国食品工业提高环境绩效提供了政策建议。
