近年来环境冲突事件的不断显现,逐渐成为影响社会稳定的不利因素之一,而目前针对经济发展与环境冲突关系的实证研究仍然十分匮乏。文章通过构建一个两阶段回归模型,使用中国1998-2013年30个省级行政单位的面板数据,首次就经济发展对环境冲突的影响机制进行了实证检验,并且通过构建面板门槛回归模型,进一步检验了不同经济发展水平对环境冲突的影响差异。结果显示:经济发展提升了居民的环境偏好和维权意识,同时也对生态环境产生了不利影响,这是引起环境冲突的主要原因。从这个角度讲,环境冲突是经济发展的副产品。但是环境冲突并不会随着经济的发展而呈现出不断增长的趋势,间接效应的检验结果显示,经济发展可以通过优化经济结构、提升生产技术来改善环境质量从而对环境冲突产生抑制效应;并且门槛模型的进一步检验结果证实了当经济发展水平达到一定程度之后,居民的环境偏好存在边际效应递减现象。总体来看,环境冲突将随着经济发展而逐渐减少。文章的研究对厘清经济发展与环境冲突之间的关系,有效防范和治理环境冲突具有重要的启示作用。
