在财政竞争加剧的背景下,中国的环境污染问题也日益突出。本文运用2001~2010年的省际面板数据,研究财政分权背景下,地方政府竞争行为对污染排放的影响。结果表明,财政分权度的提高加剧了污染排放。而地方政府的FDI竞争行为,并未加深财政分权对环境质量的负面影响。此外,财政分权对污染排放的影响,在东部地区表现得更为显著。

Against the backdrop of intensified fiscal competition, the issue of environmental pollution in China is also becoming increasingly prominent. This paper uses provincial panel data from 2001 to 2010 to study the impact of local governments’ competitive behavior on pollution discharge in the context of fiscal decentralization. The results show that increasing the degree of fiscal decentralization exacerbates pollution emissions. However, the competition behavior of FDI by local governments did not deepen the negative impact of fiscal decentralization on environmental quality. In addition, the impact of fiscal decentralization on pollution discharges has become even more pronounced in the eastern region.
