英文摘要 | Thermal power plants are considered to be the culprit of various pollutants. In China, a country dominated by coal-fired power generation, the problem is more serious. Regulators must use capacity control of coal-fired power generation as a key policy tool for emission reduction. This paper was concerned about the environmental effect of changes in thermal power capacity utilization on pollutants emissions in China. Under the econometric strategy of panel smoothing transformation regression (PSTR) model, the switching regimes and paths of seven pollutants emissions to thermal power capacity utilization were evaluated with the transition variables of power generation and electricity consumption, respectively. The three statistics, LM test, LMF and pseudo-LRT, unanimously verify the necessity of nonlinearity. In addition to CO2 emissions whose transition function presents U-shaped feature both in the models with power generation and electricity consumption as transition variable, the other pollutants such as SO2, NOx and so on generally exhibit quasi S-shaped change trend. The interaction term of installed capacity and average annual operating hours of thermal power plants introduced to reflect the interactive environmental effect of thermal power capacity utilization on pollutants emissions, appear similarity in most pollutants. However, the negative coefficients of the transition functions for interactive environmental effect imply that the policymakers reduce pollution by defusing capacity, which needs to be supplemented by setting reasonable warning line for operating hours of thermal power. |
