摘要
This study argues that export upgrading can, but does not necessarily, lead to environmental improvement. A synergy between global and local linkage determines their likely disjuncture. Based on the panel data covering 261 prefectural-level cities in C hina during 2003–2011, this study applies the decomposition of export sophistication to quantify diverse upgrading types. It also divides the sample cities into groups and uses the fixed effect regression b y groups to investigate the role of local linkages. The empirical findings indicate that environmental improvement associated with export upgrading in C hina has largely relied on changing product mix to avoid environmental costs, exhibiting a significant displacement effect. The role of efficiency promotion of production process is still insignificant. Local linkage may alter the environmental effects of upgrading. Specialisation in polluting production can help cities to change product mix through the agglomeration of related firms. Stringent environmental regulation protects cities from the export–environment disjuncture through imposing additional costs. These findings suggest that the greening efforts of C hina should take one-step further from export restructuring to efficiency promoting.
