选取中国30个省份1997—2011年的相关数据,运用动态面板模型回归分析中国式财政分权和公众参与对环境规制水平的影响发现:目前,公众参与通过中国式财政分权间接影响着地方的环境规制水平,其直接影响并不显著;财政分权不利于地方环境规制水平的提高;分权程度的降低有利于公众参与作用的发挥。因此,中央政府在对地方进行分权时,应该适当参与地方环境的管理,在对地方官员进行提拔时,也要考虑公众对地方环境的诉求。另外,政府要增加公众直接参与环境管理的权利,充分发挥公众对地方环境政策的影响。
Selecting the relevant data in 30 provinces of China from 1997 to 2011,using dynamic panel model,this paper makes an analysis on the influence of China's fiscal decentralization and public participation on environmental regulation. The results show that: at present,public participation has an indirect impact on the level of environmental regulation under the case of China's fiscal decentralization,and its direct impact is not significant. Fiscal decentralization is not conducive to the improvement of the level of local environmental regulations,and the reduction of decentralization is conducive to public participation. Accordingly,it is suggested that the central government should appropriately participate in local environmental management in the process of local decentralization. In the promotion of local officials,the central government should take the public demands for the local environment into consideration. In addition,the government should endow the public with more rights to participate in environmental management,and give full play to public influence on local environmental policy.
