大多数研究都集中在环境与贸易关系的实证研究上，但缺乏系统的理论框架。为填补这一空白，本研究从产品质量的角度构建了出口竞争力的分析框架，揭示了环境规制影响出口质量的理论机制。本文实证分析了环境规制对中国制造业出口质量的影响，并探讨了其可能的作用机制。研究结果表明，环境规制能够显著促进制造业出口产品质量的提升，过程生产率和产品生产率是环境规制影响出口产品质量的两个可能渠道，但它们的中介作用方向相反。产品生产率的中介作用大于过程生产率的中介作用，说明环境规制对中国制造业的影响主要是创新抵消效应。对于污染密集型产业，环境规制通过产品生产率渠道发挥显著的促进作用;而对于清洁型产业，环境规制通过过程生产率渠道发挥抑制作用。这些发现为我国生态文明与贸易强国的协调发展提供了重要启示。
Most studies focus on the empirical investigation of the relationship between environment and trade, but they lack a systematic theoretical framework. To fill this gap, this study constructs an analytical framework of export competitiveness from the perspective of product quality, and reveals the theoretical mechanism of environmental regulation affecting export quality. We empirically examine the impact of environmental regulation on the export quality of China’s manufacturing industry, as well as its possible mechanism. Our findings show that environmental regulation can significantly promote the export quality upgrading of the manufacturing industry and that process and product productivity are two possible channels through which such regulation affects export quality, although their mediating effects are in opposite directions. The mediating effect of product productivity is greater than that of process productivity, indicating that environmental regulation mainly has an innovation offset effect on China’s manufacturing industry. For pollution-intensive industries, environmental regulation plays a significant promoting role through the channel of product productivity, but, for clean industries, environmental regulation has an inhibitory effect through the channel of process productivity. These findings provide important enlightenment for the coordinated development of China’s ecological civilization and trade power.
