The difference of factor input structure determines different response to environmental regulation This paper constructs atheoretical model including environmental regulation factor input structure and industrial transformation and conducts a policysimulation based on the difference of influencingmechanism of environmental regulation considering industrial heterogeneityThefindings show that the impact of environmental regulation on industrial transformation presents comparison of distortion effect ofresource allocation and technology effect Environmental regulationwill promote industrial transformationwhen technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than distortion effect of resource allocation Particularly command-control environmentalregulation has a significant incentive effect and spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaning industries but these effectsdo not exist in pollution-intensive industries Command-control environmental regulation promotes industrial transformationThe result of simulation showed that environmental regulation of market incentives is similar to that of command-control
1 Introduction
Environmental regulation is one of the policies and mea-sures by which the government solves ldquomarket failurerdquo ofenvironmental issue which has become an important way topush industrial transformation The main cause of industrialtransformation is technological innovation According toPorter [1 2] the appropriate environmental regulation policyhelps to stimulate the enterprises to carry out technologicalinnovation which can be called the effect of technologicalinnovation incentive Jaffe and Palmer [3] present threedistinct variants of the so-called Porter Hypothesis namelythe ldquoweakrdquo version the ldquonarrowrdquo version and the ldquostrongrdquoversion Lanoie et al [4] tested the significance of thesedifferent variants of the Porter Hypothesis using data on thefourmain elements of the hypothesized causality chain (envi-ronmental policy research and development environmentalperformance and commercial performance) They found
strong support for the ldquoweakrdquo version and qualified supportfor the ldquonarrowrdquo version and the ldquostrongrdquo version Ambecet al [5] provided an overview of the key theoretical andempirical insights on the Porter Hypothesis to date Blind[6] differentiated between economic social and institu-tional regulations following the OECD taxonomy on regu-lations The results confirmed the hypotheses derived fromthe conceptual theoretical framework determining techni-cal progress and innovation endogenously and allowing adistinction between short-term and long-term effects Sothe influence of environmental regulation on technologicalinnovation is determined by many factors
In terms of industrial sector the adjustment of indus-trial production capacity is related to the proportion offixed capital in production factors input The fixed cost ishigher relatively in pollution-intensive industries due tothe large fixed capital input the complexity of technologyand the specificity of equipment It is difficult to update

technology for pollution-intensive industries when envi-ronmental regulation intensity increases Pollution-intensiveindustries may augment production factors input to offsetenvironmental regulation cost which will cause a distortioneffect of resource allocation In contrast it is easier tochange technology for cleaning industries when environmen-tal regulation intensity increases Cleaning industries willincrease RampD investment to improve technology to avoidenvironmental regulation cost which will cause incentiveeffects and spillover effects of technological innovationTherefore the increase of environmental regulation inten-sity ultimately drives the adjustment of industrial structure[7]
Many literatures focused on the effect of environmen-tal regulation on industrial structure transformation fromproportion of the third industry and secondary industryperspective [8 9] Li [8] addressed environmental regulationswhich will improve the proportion of the service sectorrelative to the industrial sector and promote the adjustmentof industrial structure The previous literatures were moreconcerned with the incentive effect of environmental regula-tion on technological innovation within the industrial sectorFor instance Bai and Song [10] found that environmentalregulation can improve the efficiency of Chinese thermalpower as a whole and cause incentive effects of technologicalinnovation Zhang et al [11] conducted an empirical test onindustrial sectors of 30 provinces in China and found that theeffect of environmental regulation on technological progressrate is different among different regions In recent yearsmanyresearchers found that industrial heterogeneity plays a veryimportant role in the relationship between environmentalregulation and technological innovation but the conclusionis not consistent [12ndash15] Li and Tao [12] indicated environ-mental regulation intensity of heavy pollution industry canpromote the industrial green total factor productivity theenvironmental regulation intensity of the moderate pollutionindustry is weak and technological innovation can be earlybreakthrough ldquoUrdquo inflection point for light pollution indus-try Nie and Huang [15] found the current strength of envi-ronmental regulation hinders the improvement of moderateenergy-intensive industries in total factor energy productiv-ity technological innovation and efficiency improvementshighly energy-intensive industriesrsquo environmental regulatoryintensity does not significantly influence the total factorenergy productivity for themild energy-intensive industriesthe intensity of environmental regulation promotes techno-logical innovation
The existing literatures mostly focused on the effectof environmental regulation on industrial structure at thecountry or region level and paid little attention to theimpact of environmental regulation on industrial transfor-mation inside the industrial sector In the meantime thestructure of factors input may cause different response toenvironmental regulation in pollution-intensive industriesand cleaning industriesTherefore we construct a theoreticalmodel to analyze different effect of environmental regulationon heterogeneity industries in this paper Then we conduct asimulation to examine the effect of different environmentalregulation policy and put forward some suggestion
2 The Mathematical Model
Environmental regulation includes command-control andmarket incentive regulation In this paper we select environ-mental regulation intensity as a proxy of command-controlenvironmental regulation environment tax and environ-mental technology subsidies as a proxy of market incentiveenvironmental regulation Further we assume that tech-nology is relatively fixed for pollution-intensive industriesbut environmental technology will continue to change forcleaning industries in the process of production Pollution-intensive industries are likely to increase inputs to offset thecost of regulation when environmental regulation intensityincreases namely the distortion effect of resource allocationAnd cleaning industries will promote the environmentaltechnology namely the incentive effect of technologicalinnovation At the same time the technology change willmake organization structure and management mode changefurther eventually leading to improvements in total factorproductivity namely technology spillover effect In shortthe distortion effect of resources allocation represents thedistortion of environmental regulation moreover incentiveeffect and spillover effect of technological innovation reflectthe externality of environment regulation When distortioneffect of environmental regulation is bigger than the exter-nality (namely the benefit that pollution-intensive industriesaccept tax punishment and increase factors input is higher)environmental regulation will inhibit industrial transforma-tion When the externality of environmental regulation isgreater than distortion effect (namely incentive effect andspillover effect of technology innovation for cleaning industryis higher) environmental regulation will promote industrialtransformation In the following section the dynamic generalequilibrium model is selected to analyze the mechanism
21 The Effect of Environmental Regulation on Pollution-Intensive Industries The capital labor and environmentalresources are input in the process of production in pollution-intensive industry Because of consumption of environ-mental resources pollution emissions will be producedHere environmental resources include fossil energy andother natural resources for instance soil and water andair As mentioned above pollution-intensive industries arerestricted by replacement cost of machinery and equipmentso environmental technology is relatively fixed which canonly accept tax penalties Therefore the production functionin pollution-intensive industries is as follows

The government will levy a tax on pollution-intensiveindustry When environmental regulation intensity is highenterprises require burdening higher cost of tax There-fore there is a trade-off between increasing environmen-tal resources consumption and reducing the environmentresources consumption So the profit function in pollution-intensive industries is as follows
Π1119905= 11987511199051198841119905minus 11990311199051198701119905minus 1199081199051198711119905minus 119875119890

By solving the profit maximization problem we canobtain the first-order conditions

22The Effect of Environmental Regulation on Cleaning Indus-tries Cleaning industries generally include large enterpriseswith the stronger comprehensive technology research anddevelopment ability and small businesses with emergingtechnology The higher the intensity of environmental reg-ulation the stronger the motivation of green technologystrategy carried out by cleaning industries According toPorter [1 2] the appropriate environmental regulation policyhelps to stimulate the enterprises to carry out technologicalinnovation which can be called the effect of technologicalinnovation incentive The cleaning industries will increasegreen RampD investment improve the level of human capitaland develop perfect system environment which in turnimprove technological management level and change organi-zation structure and management mode eventually leadingto improvements in total factor productivity namely tech-nology spillover effect Cleaning industries alsowill dischargepollution in the process of production In order to expandtechnology innovation incentive effect the government will

industries not only can improve the level of environmentaltechnology to control pollution emissions but can reduceproduction to control pollution emissions So the function ofpollution emission in cleaning industries is as follows

26 Calibration of Parameters
(1)The Division of Cleaning Industries and Pollution-IntensiveIndustries The division standard of industrial sectors isin accordance with ldquoChina Industry Economy StatisticalYearbookrdquo To be sure because the data is missing partly inManufacture of Artwork and Other Manufacture recycling
and processing of waste resource and old materials andMining of Other Ores we remove these subindustries Inaddition we incorporate manufacture of plastic and manu-facture of rubber to maintain consistent statistical standarddue to industrial classification standard changed in differentyears After the adjustment we get 35 subindustries Furtherall the industries are divided into cleaning industries andpollution-intensive industries based on the median of thepollution emission intensity The calculation of the pollutionemission intensity (EMI) is as follows
A To calculate pollutant emissions per unit of outputin each sector namely 119880119864
119894119895= 119864119894119895119884119894 where 119864
119894119895is
pollutant emission 119895 of sector 119894 119884119894is gross value of
industrial output in each sectorB To standardize pollutant emissions per unit of output
in each industry
1198801198641015840
119894119895=

where 119880119864119894119895
denotes pollutant emissions per unitof output in each sector max(119880119864
119895) and min(119880119864
119895)
denote the maximum and minimum of pollutantemission 119895 across all industries respectively 1198801198641015840
119894119895is
standardized value of pollutant emission per unit ofoutput in each industry
C To calculate weighted average of standardized value ofpollutant emission we can obtain industry pollutionemission intensityThe division of cleaning industriesand pollution-intensive industries is shown in Table 1

(2) Environmental Regulation Intensity Environmental reg-ulation is measured from 6 dimensions in the previousliterature [11] First is the type of environmental regulationpolicy Second is the proportion of investment of pollutiontreatment in total cost or output value Third is running costof pollution control facilities Fourth is the per capita incomeFifth is the number of governmentsrsquo inspection Sixth is thevolume of pollution emissions Considering the availabilityof industry data we select running cost of pollution controlfacilities as the measurement of environmental regulationintensity According to Shen [13] we choose the proportion ofrunning cost of pollution control that accounts for industrialoutput as a proxy The total running cost of pollution controlis the sumof running cost of wastewater andwaste gas controlin each sector The data source of environmental variablesis ldquoChina Environment Statistical Yearbookrdquo and the datasource of industrial output is ldquoChina Industrial EconomicStatistical Yearbookrdquo
(3) The Estimation of Production Function in Pollution-Intensity Industries and Cleaning Industries We estimatethe production functions of cleaning industries pollution-intensity industries and energy industries (here we usemining and washing of coal to substitute energy industries)based on panel data in 30 provinces (excluding Tibet) from2002 to 2012 And we decompose total factor productivityto get technological progress rate and do regression analysisbetween technological progress rate and RampD investment incleaning industries
The regression results are shown in Table 2
(4) The Estimation of the Function of Pollution EmissionsSince the data of waste water and solid waste are missingpartly we select the volume of SO
2emissions as a proxy
in pollution-intensity industries and cleaning industries Weconstruct the regression equation in which energy consump-tion is independent variable and the volume of pollutionemissions is dependent variable
The results are shown in Table 3
(5)TheOther Parameters in theModel Because it is difficult tocollect the data of government green purchase and consump-tion we set up the other parameters based onDong et al [16]

(1) Incentive Effects of Technological Innovation Figure 4 is acomparison of the existence situation related to technologicalinnovation incentive effects of themarket incentives environ-mental regulation in different types of the industry As shownin Figure 4 the enhancement of the environmental tax andsubsidies of environmental technology RampD do not affect thelevel of environmental technology as for pollution-intensive
industries but promote the cleaning industries to enhancetheir level of the environmental technology It means thattechnological innovation incentive effects of the marketincentives environmental regulation do not exist in termsof pollution-intensive industries while they exist in thecleansing industries In addition technological innovationincentive effects of subsidies of environmental technologyRampD should be higher than that of the environmental tax

that technology spillover effects of the market incentivesenvironmental regulation do not exist in terms of pollution-intensive industries while they exist in the cleansing indus-tries In addition technology spillover effects of subsidies ofenvironmental technology RampD should be higher than thatof the environmental tax
(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

technology for pollution-intensive industries when envi-ronmental regulation intensity increases Pollution-intensiveindustries may augment production factors input to offsetenvironmental regulation cost which will cause a distortioneffect of resource allocation In contrast it is easier tochange technology for cleaning industries when environmen-tal regulation intensity increases Cleaning industries willincrease RampD investment to improve technology to avoidenvironmental regulation cost which will cause incentiveeffects and spillover effects of technological innovationTherefore the increase of environmental regulation inten-sity ultimately drives the adjustment of industrial structure[7]
Many literatures focused on the effect of environmen-tal regulation on industrial structure transformation fromproportion of the third industry and secondary industryperspective [8 9] Li [8] addressed environmental regulationswhich will improve the proportion of the service sectorrelative to the industrial sector and promote the adjustmentof industrial structure The previous literatures were moreconcerned with the incentive effect of environmental regula-tion on technological innovation within the industrial sectorFor instance Bai and Song [10] found that environmentalregulation can improve the efficiency of Chinese thermalpower as a whole and cause incentive effects of technologicalinnovation Zhang et al [11] conducted an empirical test onindustrial sectors of 30 provinces in China and found that theeffect of environmental regulation on technological progressrate is different among different regions In recent yearsmanyresearchers found that industrial heterogeneity plays a veryimportant role in the relationship between environmentalregulation and technological innovation but the conclusionis not consistent [12ndash15] Li and Tao [12] indicated environ-mental regulation intensity of heavy pollution industry canpromote the industrial green total factor productivity theenvironmental regulation intensity of the moderate pollutionindustry is weak and technological innovation can be earlybreakthrough ldquoUrdquo inflection point for light pollution indus-try Nie and Huang [15] found the current strength of envi-ronmental regulation hinders the improvement of moderateenergy-intensive industries in total factor energy productiv-ity technological innovation and efficiency improvementshighly energy-intensive industriesrsquo environmental regulatoryintensity does not significantly influence the total factorenergy productivity for themild energy-intensive industriesthe intensity of environmental regulation promotes techno-logical innovation
The existing literatures mostly focused on the effectof environmental regulation on industrial structure at thecountry or region level and paid little attention to theimpact of environmental regulation on industrial transfor-mation inside the industrial sector In the meantime thestructure of factors input may cause different response toenvironmental regulation in pollution-intensive industriesand cleaning industriesTherefore we construct a theoreticalmodel to analyze different effect of environmental regulationon heterogeneity industries in this paper Then we conduct asimulation to examine the effect of different environmentalregulation policy and put forward some suggestion

Environmental regulation includes command-control andmarket incentive regulation In this paper we select environ-mental regulation intensity as a proxy of command-controlenvironmental regulation environment tax and environ-mental technology subsidies as a proxy of market incentiveenvironmental regulation Further we assume that tech-nology is relatively fixed for pollution-intensive industriesbut environmental technology will continue to change forcleaning industries in the process of production Pollution-intensive industries are likely to increase inputs to offset thecost of regulation when environmental regulation intensityincreases namely the distortion effect of resource allocationAnd cleaning industries will promote the environmentaltechnology namely the incentive effect of technologicalinnovation At the same time the technology change willmake organization structure and management mode changefurther eventually leading to improvements in total factorproductivity namely technology spillover effect In shortthe distortion effect of resources allocation represents thedistortion of environmental regulation moreover incentiveeffect and spillover effect of technological innovation reflectthe externality of environment regulation When distortioneffect of environmental regulation is bigger than the exter-nality (namely the benefit that pollution-intensive industriesaccept tax punishment and increase factors input is higher)environmental regulation will inhibit industrial transforma-tion When the externality of environmental regulation isgreater than distortion effect (namely incentive effect andspillover effect of technology innovation for cleaning industryis higher) environmental regulation will promote industrialtransformation In the following section the dynamic generalequilibrium model is selected to analyze the mechanism
21 The Effect of Environmental Regulation on Pollution-Intensive Industries The capital labor and environmentalresources are input in the process of production in pollution-intensive industry Because of consumption of environ-mental resources pollution emissions will be producedHere environmental resources include fossil energy andother natural resources for instance soil and water andair As mentioned above pollution-intensive industries arerestricted by replacement cost of machinery and equipmentso environmental technology is relatively fixed which canonly accept tax penalties Therefore the production functionin pollution-intensive industries is as follows

119864(Φ119905 119864119905) gt 0 denotes that the more environmental
resource is consumed the more environmental pollutionemissions are produced
The government will levy a tax on pollution-intensiveindustry When environmental regulation intensity is highenterprises require burdening higher cost of tax There-fore there is a trade-off between increasing environmen-tal resources consumption and reducing the environmentresources consumption So the profit function in pollution-intensive industries is as follows
Π1119905= 11987511199051198841119905minus 11990311199051198701119905minus 1199081199051198711119905minus 119875119890

where 120591(120601) = 120591 + 12058101206011205811 represents the tax rate of environ-

By solving the profit maximization problem we canobtain the first-order conditions

22The Effect of Environmental Regulation on Cleaning Indus-tries Cleaning industries generally include large enterpriseswith the stronger comprehensive technology research anddevelopment ability and small businesses with emergingtechnology The higher the intensity of environmental reg-ulation the stronger the motivation of green technologystrategy carried out by cleaning industries According toPorter [1 2] the appropriate environmental regulation policyhelps to stimulate the enterprises to carry out technologicalinnovation which can be called the effect of technologicalinnovation incentive The cleaning industries will increasegreen RampD investment improve the level of human capitaland develop perfect system environment which in turnimprove technological management level and change organi-zation structure and management mode eventually leadingto improvements in total factor productivity namely tech-nology spillover effect Cleaning industries alsowill dischargepollution in the process of production In order to expandtechnology innovation incentive effect the government will

(2) Environmental Regulation Intensity Environmental reg-ulation is measured from 6 dimensions in the previousliterature [11] First is the type of environmental regulationpolicy Second is the proportion of investment of pollutiontreatment in total cost or output value Third is running costof pollution control facilities Fourth is the per capita incomeFifth is the number of governmentsrsquo inspection Sixth is thevolume of pollution emissions Considering the availabilityof industry data we select running cost of pollution controlfacilities as the measurement of environmental regulationintensity According to Shen [13] we choose the proportion ofrunning cost of pollution control that accounts for industrialoutput as a proxy The total running cost of pollution controlis the sumof running cost of wastewater andwaste gas controlin each sector The data source of environmental variablesis ldquoChina Environment Statistical Yearbookrdquo and the datasource of industrial output is ldquoChina Industrial EconomicStatistical Yearbookrdquo
(3) The Estimation of Production Function in Pollution-Intensity Industries and Cleaning Industries We estimatethe production functions of cleaning industries pollution-intensity industries and energy industries (here we usemining and washing of coal to substitute energy industries)based on panel data in 30 provinces (excluding Tibet) from2002 to 2012 And we decompose total factor productivityto get technological progress rate and do regression analysisbetween technological progress rate and RampD investment incleaning industries
The regression results are shown in Table 2
(4) The Estimation of the Function of Pollution EmissionsSince the data of waste water and solid waste are missingpartly we select the volume of SO
2emissions as a proxy
in pollution-intensity industries and cleaning industries Weconstruct the regression equation in which energy consump-tion is independent variable and the volume of pollutionemissions is dependent variable
The results are shown in Table 3
(5)TheOther Parameters in theModel Because it is difficult tocollect the data of government green purchase and consump-tion we set up the other parameters based onDong et al [16]

industries but promote the cleaning industries to enhancetheir level of the environmental technology It means thattechnological innovation incentive effects of the marketincentives environmental regulation do not exist in termsof pollution-intensive industries while they exist in thecleansing industries In addition technological innovationincentive effects of subsidies of environmental technologyRampD should be higher than that of the environmental tax

that technology spillover effects of the market incentivesenvironmental regulation do not exist in terms of pollution-intensive industries while they exist in the cleansing indus-tries In addition technology spillover effects of subsidies ofenvironmental technology RampD should be higher than thatof the environmental tax
(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

The government will levy a tax on pollution-intensiveindustry When environmental regulation intensity is highenterprises require burdening higher cost of tax There-fore there is a trade-off between increasing environmen-tal resources consumption and reducing the environmentresources consumption So the profit function in pollution-intensive industries is as follows

22The Effect of Environmental Regulation on Cleaning Indus-tries Cleaning industries generally include large enterpriseswith the stronger comprehensive technology research anddevelopment ability and small businesses with emergingtechnology The higher the intensity of environmental reg-ulation the stronger the motivation of green technologystrategy carried out by cleaning industries According toPorter [1 2] the appropriate environmental regulation policyhelps to stimulate the enterprises to carry out technologicalinnovation which can be called the effect of technologicalinnovation incentive The cleaning industries will increasegreen RampD investment improve the level of human capitaland develop perfect system environment which in turnimprove technological management level and change organi-zation structure and management mode eventually leadingto improvements in total factor productivity namely tech-nology spillover effect Cleaning industries alsowill dischargepollution in the process of production In order to expandtechnology innovation incentive effect the government will
impose subsidy to RampD investment of environmental tech-nology in cleaning industries Therefore the productionfunction in cleaning industries is as follows

(1)The Division of Cleaning Industries and Pollution-IntensiveIndustries The division standard of industrial sectors isin accordance with ldquoChina Industry Economy StatisticalYearbookrdquo To be sure because the data is missing partly inManufacture of Artwork and Other Manufacture recycling
and processing of waste resource and old materials andMining of Other Ores we remove these subindustries Inaddition we incorporate manufacture of plastic and manu-facture of rubber to maintain consistent statistical standarddue to industrial classification standard changed in differentyears After the adjustment we get 35 subindustries Furtherall the industries are divided into cleaning industries andpollution-intensive industries based on the median of thepollution emission intensity The calculation of the pollutionemission intensity (EMI) is as follows
A To calculate pollutant emissions per unit of outputin each sector namely 119880119864
119894119895= 119864119894119895119884119894 where 119864
119894119895is
pollutant emission 119895 of sector 119894 119884119894is gross value of

where 119880119864119894119895
denotes pollutant emissions per unitof output in each sector max(119880119864
119895) and min(119880119864

denote the maximum and minimum of pollutantemission 119895 across all industries respectively 1198801198641015840
119894119895is
standardized value of pollutant emission per unit ofoutput in each industry
C To calculate weighted average of standardized value ofpollutant emission we can obtain industry pollutionemission intensityThe division of cleaning industriesand pollution-intensive industries is shown in Table 1

(2) Environmental Regulation Intensity Environmental reg-ulation is measured from 6 dimensions in the previousliterature [11] First is the type of environmental regulationpolicy Second is the proportion of investment of pollutiontreatment in total cost or output value Third is running costof pollution control facilities Fourth is the per capita incomeFifth is the number of governmentsrsquo inspection Sixth is thevolume of pollution emissions Considering the availabilityof industry data we select running cost of pollution controlfacilities as the measurement of environmental regulationintensity According to Shen [13] we choose the proportion ofrunning cost of pollution control that accounts for industrialoutput as a proxy The total running cost of pollution controlis the sumof running cost of wastewater andwaste gas controlin each sector The data source of environmental variablesis ldquoChina Environment Statistical Yearbookrdquo and the datasource of industrial output is ldquoChina Industrial EconomicStatistical Yearbookrdquo
(3) The Estimation of Production Function in Pollution-Intensity Industries and Cleaning Industries We estimatethe production functions of cleaning industries pollution-intensity industries and energy industries (here we usemining and washing of coal to substitute energy industries)based on panel data in 30 provinces (excluding Tibet) from2002 to 2012 And we decompose total factor productivityto get technological progress rate and do regression analysisbetween technological progress rate and RampD investment incleaning industries
The regression results are shown in Table 2
(4) The Estimation of the Function of Pollution EmissionsSince the data of waste water and solid waste are missingpartly we select the volume of SO
2emissions as a proxy
in pollution-intensity industries and cleaning industries Weconstruct the regression equation in which energy consump-tion is independent variable and the volume of pollutionemissions is dependent variable
The results are shown in Table 3

32 The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regula-tion on the Industrial Transformation
(1) Incentive Effects of Technological Innovation Figure 4 is acomparison of the existence situation related to technologicalinnovation incentive effects of themarket incentives environ-mental regulation in different types of the industry As shownin Figure 4 the enhancement of the environmental tax andsubsidies of environmental technology RampD do not affect thelevel of environmental technology as for pollution-intensive
industries but promote the cleaning industries to enhancetheir level of the environmental technology It means thattechnological innovation incentive effects of the marketincentives environmental regulation do not exist in termsof pollution-intensive industries while they exist in thecleansing industries In addition technological innovationincentive effects of subsidies of environmental technologyRampD should be higher than that of the environmental tax

that technology spillover effects of the market incentivesenvironmental regulation do not exist in terms of pollution-intensive industries while they exist in the cleansing indus-tries In addition technology spillover effects of subsidies ofenvironmental technology RampD should be higher than thatof the environmental tax
(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

(2) Environmental Regulation Intensity Environmental reg-ulation is measured from 6 dimensions in the previousliterature [11] First is the type of environmental regulationpolicy Second is the proportion of investment of pollutiontreatment in total cost or output value Third is running costof pollution control facilities Fourth is the per capita incomeFifth is the number of governmentsrsquo inspection Sixth is thevolume of pollution emissions Considering the availabilityof industry data we select running cost of pollution controlfacilities as the measurement of environmental regulationintensity According to Shen [13] we choose the proportion ofrunning cost of pollution control that accounts for industrialoutput as a proxy The total running cost of pollution controlis the sumof running cost of wastewater andwaste gas controlin each sector The data source of environmental variablesis ldquoChina Environment Statistical Yearbookrdquo and the datasource of industrial output is ldquoChina Industrial EconomicStatistical Yearbookrdquo
(3) The Estimation of Production Function in Pollution-Intensity Industries and Cleaning Industries We estimatethe production functions of cleaning industries pollution-intensity industries and energy industries (here we usemining and washing of coal to substitute energy industries)based on panel data in 30 provinces (excluding Tibet) from2002 to 2012 And we decompose total factor productivityto get technological progress rate and do regression analysisbetween technological progress rate and RampD investment incleaning industries
The regression results are shown in Table 2
(4) The Estimation of the Function of Pollution EmissionsSince the data of waste water and solid waste are missingpartly we select the volume of SO
2emissions as a proxy
in pollution-intensity industries and cleaning industries Weconstruct the regression equation in which energy consump-tion is independent variable and the volume of pollutionemissions is dependent variable
The results are shown in Table 3
(5)TheOther Parameters in theModel Because it is difficult tocollect the data of government green purchase and consump-tion we set up the other parameters based onDong et al [16]

(1) Incentive Effects of Technological Innovation Figure 4 is acomparison of the existence situation related to technologicalinnovation incentive effects of themarket incentives environ-mental regulation in different types of the industry As shownin Figure 4 the enhancement of the environmental tax andsubsidies of environmental technology RampD do not affect thelevel of environmental technology as for pollution-intensive
industries but promote the cleaning industries to enhancetheir level of the environmental technology It means thattechnological innovation incentive effects of the marketincentives environmental regulation do not exist in termsof pollution-intensive industries while they exist in thecleansing industries In addition technological innovationincentive effects of subsidies of environmental technologyRampD should be higher than that of the environmental tax

that technology spillover effects of the market incentivesenvironmental regulation do not exist in terms of pollution-intensive industries while they exist in the cleansing indus-tries In addition technology spillover effects of subsidies ofenvironmental technology RampD should be higher than thatof the environmental tax
(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

(1)The Division of Cleaning Industries and Pollution-IntensiveIndustries The division standard of industrial sectors isin accordance with ldquoChina Industry Economy StatisticalYearbookrdquo To be sure because the data is missing partly inManufacture of Artwork and Other Manufacture recycling
and processing of waste resource and old materials andMining of Other Ores we remove these subindustries Inaddition we incorporate manufacture of plastic and manu-facture of rubber to maintain consistent statistical standarddue to industrial classification standard changed in differentyears After the adjustment we get 35 subindustries Furtherall the industries are divided into cleaning industries andpollution-intensive industries based on the median of thepollution emission intensity The calculation of the pollutionemission intensity (EMI) is as follows
A To calculate pollutant emissions per unit of outputin each sector namely 119880119864
119894119895= 119864119894119895119884119894 where 119864
119894119895is
pollutant emission 119895 of sector 119894 119884119894is gross value of

where 119880119864119894119895
denotes pollutant emissions per unitof output in each sector max(119880119864
119895) and min(119880119864

denote the maximum and minimum of pollutantemission 119895 across all industries respectively 1198801198641015840
119894119895is
standardized value of pollutant emission per unit ofoutput in each industry
C To calculate weighted average of standardized value ofpollutant emission we can obtain industry pollutionemission intensityThe division of cleaning industriesand pollution-intensive industries is shown in Table 1

(1) Incentive Effects of Technological Innovation Figure 4 is acomparison of the existence situation related to technologicalinnovation incentive effects of themarket incentives environ-mental regulation in different types of the industry As shownin Figure 4 the enhancement of the environmental tax andsubsidies of environmental technology RampD do not affect thelevel of environmental technology as for pollution-intensive
industries but promote the cleaning industries to enhancetheir level of the environmental technology It means thattechnological innovation incentive effects of the marketincentives environmental regulation do not exist in termsof pollution-intensive industries while they exist in thecleansing industries In addition technological innovationincentive effects of subsidies of environmental technologyRampD should be higher than that of the environmental tax

that technology spillover effects of the market incentivesenvironmental regulation do not exist in terms of pollution-intensive industries while they exist in the cleansing indus-tries In addition technology spillover effects of subsidies ofenvironmental technology RampD should be higher than thatof the environmental tax
(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion

According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation

(3)The Impact of Market Incentives Environmental Regulationon the Industrial Transformation Figure 6 is the impactof the market incentives environmental regulation on theindustrial transformation As shown in Figure 6 the riseof environmental tax will increase the environmental costof enterprises Since the environmental technology of con-taminative enterprises is relatively fixed without any otherresponses except reducing the yield the pollution-intensiveindustries still carry out the original mode of productionbut the equilibrium will be moved down along the originalproduction function However the cleaning industries havesubjective initiative to deal with environmental tax Reduc-tion of yield cannot bring the marketing competitive edge forcleaning industries under the condition of environmental taxThus the cleansing industries need to increase the researchinput of environmental technology to decrease the tax bur-den of environmental tax Nevertheless the motivation ofenvironmental technology innovation is dependent on therelationship between the cost of environmental tax and thecost of environmental technology innovation In the longrun the cost of environmental tax cleansing industries thatthe cleansing industries required to pay is inevitably higherthan the cost of environmental technology innovation Thetechnology innovation of cleansing industries will bring thequality improvement of cleaning products and upgradingof the industry Overall the real GDP is decreased thecleansing industries have been developing gradually whereasthe pollution-intensive industries have been shrinking Thetransformation of industrial structure has been accelerated
The subsidies of environmental technology RampD rise andthe cost of environmental technology RampD for cleansingindustries reduced so that cleansing industries aspire toincrease the input of environmental technology RampD topromote its improvement The environmental technology
spillover effects of cleansing industries can improve theenterprisesrsquo productivity and extend the yield scale since thehuman resources are trained and the level of management isdevelopedThe increase of capital accumulation portion of allthe output in terms of cleansing industries causes the increaseof the real GDP Correspondingly the part of capital accu-mulation for pollution-intensive industries will be increasedtoo due to the wealth effect that leads to the output increaseHowever the growth of cleansing products output brought bythe improvement of environmental technology of cleansingindustries exceeds that of pollution-intensive industries sothe industrial structure transformation is upgraded
Generally speaking both incentive effects of technolog-ical innovation and technology spillover effect exist in thecleansing industries while both of them do not exist in thepollution-intensive industries Meanwhile the environmen-tal regulation policies assist in improving the transformationof industrial structure There are two influent channelsFirst the enhancement of environmental regulation intensityresults in the cost increase of pollution emission as forpollution-intensive industries In the short term pollution-intensive industries may increase factor input to make up forthe loss of pollution emission but in the long term theseindustries can onlymaximize the operating profit by reducingthe production scale Second under the enhancement ofenvironmental regulation intensity the cleansing industrieswill improve its level of environmental technology Technol-ogy spillover effects will extend the production scale for thecleansing industries which promote the transformation ofindustrial structure
4 Conclusion
In this paper the entire industries are divided into two partscleaning industries and pollution-intensive industries Weconstructed a mathematical model and conducted numer-ical simulation the results indicated that the impact thatenvironmental regulation has on industrial transformationpresents comparison of distortion effect of resource alloca-tion and technology effect Environmental regulation will

promote industrial transformation when technology effectof environmental regulation is stronger than the distortioneffect of resources allocation Particularly command-controlenvironmental regulation has a significant incentive effectand spillover effect of technological innovation on cleaningindustries but these effects do not exist in pollution-intensiveindustries Command-control environmental regulation pro-motes industrial transformation The results of simulationto market incentives environmental regulation are similar tocommand-control environmental regulation
According to the conclusion we suggest that the gov-ernment should improve the mechanism of investment andfinancing gradually widen the ways of financing acceleratethe process of financial reform and attract private capitalinto cleaning industries to support the development ofcleaning industries to produce technology spillover effectThe government should set up the appropriate environmentaccess standards to guide the environment control and realizethe pollution source management for pollution-intensiveindustryThe government should combine market incentivesenvironmental regulation and command-control environ-mental regulation effectively to guide cleaning industries toenvironment governance and improve the effectiveness ofenvironmental regulation
