Data from School of Economics and Management Provide New Insights into Air Quality Atmosphere and Health (A Spatial Econometric Empirical Research On the Impact of Industrial Agglomeration On Haze Pollution In China)

2020 AUG 28 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Daily China News -- Investigators publish new report on Environmental Health - Air Quality Atmosphere and Health. According to news reporting out of Tianjin, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Based on statistical data on 30 provincial administrative regions in China from 2000 to 2016, this paper conducts an empirical study of the impact of industrial agglomeration on haze pollution using the spatial Dubin model (SDM), spatial lag model (SLM), and spatial error model (SEM).”

Financial support for this research came from National research programme of statistical science: Research on the Indicators and Appraisal of Environmental Risks in Industrial Distribution under the Strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integration (a privileged program).

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the School of Economics and Management, “The findings are as follows: (1) Industrial agglomeration can effectively reduce the degree of haze pollution. (2) Haze pollution has an inverted U-shaped relationship with economic development and population agglomeration. (3) The secondary industry has a positive correlation with haze pollution, while the tertiary industry can reduce haze pollution but not in an obvious manner. (4) The level of innovation and urbanization can help to reduce haze pollution, and the level of economic opening up and carbon dioxide emissions can exacerbate haze pollution. (5) Due to the insufficient commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, investment in science and technology is not obviously effective in preventing and controlling haze pollution. The relationship between environmental regulation and haze pollution is still unclear due to regional differences and the varied effectiveness of law enforcement.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “The study suggests that the government should guide industrial agglomeration in a reasonable manner, improve joint prevention and control across regions, and strengthen environmental regulation to prevent and control haze pollution.”
