Pollution havens create environmental inequality issues. China’s recent policy of directing high-pollution firms to migrate out of its capital, Beijing, offers a case of a pollution haven that was mandated, rather than resulting from firms’ responses to environmental regulation. More importantly, it leads to a question that has been less discussed in previous literature: does a pollution haven strike back?

Does legislation improvement alleviate the decoupling between welfare and wealth in China?

Submitted by Hang Yin on

With an increasing decoupling trend between welfare and wealth, alleviating the decoupling trend has become a key issue on the agenda of sustainable development. This paper verifies the existence of the decoupling and examines the effects of legislation on the trend. By conducting an analysis on China's 31 provinces from 1986 to 2018, we find that legislation improvement can notably alleviate the decoupling trend.
