In this paper, based on CHME theory, the paper builds two-way dynamic index to analyze the environmental regulation level from 2003 to 2010 in China, and compares several major environmental regulation substitution indexes. The result shows that; from the horizontal perspective, command index indicates that the execution efficiency of environmental protection laws closely relates to regional economic level, and incentive policy is an efficient way to improve the level of region regulation. Voluntary index is greatly impacted by company's living environment, consciousness index is significantly different among regions and this trend does not seem to narrow in the sample period. From the vertical perspective, at first, environmental regulation composite index presents the economic characteristics, namely the relatively developed areas having strong regulation level, while the regulation in backward areas being weaker. Second, the industrial structures and different developmental stages of regions will contribute to the differences in regulation level. In addition, through the indicators of change rate and change intensity, we analyze the alternative effect of variables, and find that the strength of regulation substituted by per capital income is the most approximated to the results of this paper, while the substitution effect of pollutants is the worst. Finally, we put forward that China should narrow the gap between areas, improve the implementation of motivational policy and choose the executive mode of environmental regulation in Midwest.%本文基于CHME理论,通过构建双向可比的动态指数对我国2003-2010年的环境规制水平进行了测度研究,同时比较了几种主要的环境规制替代指标,研究表明:从横向看,命令型指数表明环保法律法规的执行效率与地区经济水平密切相关,激励政策是提高我国各地区环境规制水平的有效手段,而自愿性指数受企业生存环境影响明显,意识指数则地区差异明显且在样本期内未有缩小趋势.从纵向看,环境规制综合指数首先呈现出经济水平特征,即经济相对发达的地区具有较强的规制水平,而经济落后的地区规制水平也较弱,其次,地区产业结构和所处发展阶段不同都会导致规制水平有所差异.另外,通过变动率和变动强度两个指标进行了变量的替代效果分析,结果发现人均收入表示的规制强度与本文的测算结果最为近似,而采用污染物排放量的替代效果则最差.最后提出我国应该缩小地区发展差距,完善和加强激励型政策的实施,同时相机选择中西部地区的环境规制执行方式.
