农业生产中农用地膜的大量使用和管理不善，造成了严重的塑料污染，地膜的回收利用势在必行。以往的研究表明，正规制度对地膜回收有显着影响；然而，对环保行为具有重大影响的非正式制度的影响仍然很少被探讨。本文利用我国5个代表性省份的12058份耕地数据，运用Probit模型、Heckman两阶段模型和中介效应模型，研究了具有代表性的非正式制度环境村规对地膜回收行为的影响机制。研究结果表明，环境村规对地膜回收既有直接影响机制，也有间接影响机制。环境村规对地膜的回收利用具有显着的直接积极作用。此外，环境村规通过不同厚度地膜的选择以及地膜使用天数对地膜回收产生显着的间接正向影响。根据调查结果，我们建议所有村庄都应制定具体的环境村规约，以促进地膜的回收利用。此外，政府应进一步规范地膜的生产、销售和使用。 (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The extensive use and ineffective management of agricultural mulch film in agricultural production have caused serious plastic pollution, thus, mulch film recycling is necessary. Previous studies have shown that formal institutions have a significant impact on mulch film recycling; however, the effect of informal institutions, which have a significant impact on pro-environmental behaviors, remains less explored. In this paper, 12058 pieces of cultivated land data from five representative provinces in China were used to study the impact mechanisms of environmental village regulations, a representative informal institution, on mulch film recycling behavior, by using the Probit model, Heckman two-stage model, and mediation effect model. The results indicated that there are both direct impact and indirect impact mechanisms of environmental village regulations on mulching film recycling. The environmental village regulations had a significant direct positive effect on the recycling of mulch film. In addition, the environmental village regulations had a significant indirect positive impact on mulch film recycling through the selection of mulch film with different thicknesses and the number of days the mulch film was used. Based on the findings, our recommendation is that specific environmental village regulations should be established in all villages to promote mulch film recycling. In addition, the government should further regulate the manufacturing, sale, and use of plastic mulch film. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
