Measurement of China’s Provincial Ecological Welfare Performance and Its Influencing Factors

Abstract

Abstract: An ecological welfare performance model is constructed based on its definition. On this basis， the panel data of 30 provinces， cities and autonomous regions in China from 2007 to 2017 are used to measure the ecological welfare performance level， and the influencing factors that determine its differences are empirically analyzed. It is found that China’s ecological welfare performance has experienced three stages of “rising-falling-rising” in the time trend， and the overall increase is 19.3%. In terms of regional characteristics， ecological welfare performance presents a pattern of “the highest in the east， the second in the west， and the lowest in the middle”. Economic scale has improved China’s ecological welfare performance， while government supervision， urbanization and industrial structure are the negative factors that inhibit the improvement of China’s ecological welfare performance. Formalism and information asymmetry make it impossible for public participation to have an impact on the ecological welfare performance.

Key words: human development index; ecological consumption index; ecological welfare performance; government supervision; public participation
