Summary
Environmental regulation in China's Yangtze River Economic Belt significantly impacts industrial structure upgrading. Stronger regulation initially hinders but eventually promotes industrial upgrading through improved land use efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Economics
- Regional Science
- Urban Studies
Background:
- Environmental regulation is a key driver for industrial structure change and economic transformation.
- Land use adjustment is central to reforming traditional industrialization and urbanization.
- Understanding the interplay between environmental policy and land use is crucial for sustainable development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the impact of environmental regulation and land use efficiency on industrial structure upgrading in China's Yangtze River Economic Belt.
- To examine the threshold effects of environmental regulation on industrial upgrading via land use efficiency.
- To provide insights for optimizing environmental policies and promoting sustainable regional economic transformation.
Main Methods:
- Panel data analysis for 128 prefecture-level cities from 2000-2020.
- Spatial Dubin model to assess spatial effects of environmental regulation and land use efficiency.
- Panel threshold model to investigate the non-linear relationship and threshold effects.
Main Results:
- Formal environmental regulation shows significant positive spatial effects on industrial structure rationalization (0.1734) and upgrading (0.2854).
- Informal environmental regulation exhibits a non-significant negative spillover effect on neighboring regions.
- Heterogeneous environmental regulation demonstrates a 'double threshold effect' on industrial upgrading through land use efficiency, shifting from inhibition to promotion.
Conclusions:
- Environmental regulation's impact on industrial structure upgrading is contingent on its intensity and mediated by land use efficiency.
- A dual threshold effect exists: initial regulation inhibits, while sufficiently strong regulation promotes upgrading.
- Policy recommendations should consider differentiated and threshold-based environmental regulations to foster sustainable industrial transformation and land use.

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.

01:52Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
