Improving industrial ecology efficiency (IEE) is the key path to achieve green economic development. This paper calculates IEE of 273 Chinese cities a super slacks-based measurement (Super-SBM) model and examines the impact of environmental protection tax reform (EPTR) on IEE by the difference-in-difference (DID) model. The results show that the effect of EPTR on IEE is significantly positive. After a series of robustness tests, this conclusion still holds true. EPTR has a more obvious effect on IEE of coastal cities, Class 1 cities and non-resource-based cities. EPTR mainly enhances IEE through green technology innovation effect, industrial structure upgrading effect and public participation effect. This paper provides empirical evidence for improving China's environmental policies and promoting green transformation.
提高产业生态效率（IEE）是实现绿色经济发展的关键途径。本文运用超效率松弛测度（Super-SBM）模型计算了中国273个城市的产业生态效率，并通过双重差分（DID）模型考察了环境保护税改革（EPTR）对产业生态效率的影响。结果表明，环境保护税改革对产业生态效率的影响显著为正。经过一系列稳健性检验，这一结论仍然成立。环境保护税改革对沿海城市、一线城市和非资源型城市的产业生态效率有更明显的影响。环境保护税改革主要通过绿色技术创新效应、产业结构升级效应和公众参与效应来提高产业生态效率。本文为完善中国环境政策、推动绿色转型提供了实证依据。
