Liu, Feng.

Regulating industrial air pollution in a developing economy in transition: A case study of Chongqing City, China. - 233 p.

Adviser: John Boland.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Johns Hopkins University, 1999.

China faces a dilemma few other countries have experienced: a low-income economy that generates excessive pollution. Coping with rapid economic growth, China's pollution regulation is confounded by the dynamic socio-economic conditions brought about by reforms. The severity of China's pollution problems and a lack of capacity to address them raises curiosity about what has happened to environmental regulation in China and why.

520 $a China faces a dilemma few other countries have experienced: a low-income economy that generates excessive pollution. Coping with rapid economic growth, China's pollution regulation is confounded by the dynamic socio-economic conditions brought about by reforms. The severity of China's pollution problems and a lack of capacity to address them raises curiosity about what has happened to environmental regulation in China and why.
520 $a This research investigates air quality management practices in Chongqing Municipality, evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of industrial air pollution regulations including implementation and enforcement assessment, case studies of regulated firms, and benefit-cost analysis of emission abatement.
520 $a The research shows that current regulations fail to control emissions, ambient air pollution remains at high levels and many small firms escapes regulation altogether. The mandatory emission-control regulation for new sources addresses neither the assimilative capacity of local environment nor the issue of continuing compliance. The over-standard emission charge applying to existing sources is more effective in raising revenues than in reducing emissions. Local environmental agencies depend almost completely on charge collections for funds, a situation that may impair regulatory enforcement. Economic decentralization has weakened the traditional system for implementing national pollution regulations. The increasing market orientation of firms has changed their perception of pollution control from political obligation to financial burden. Firms are cost conscious, and generally choose the least-cost option in responding to regulations. Non-compliance rate is relatively high because costs of violations are relatively low.
520 $a Compliance with ambient sulfur dioxide standards would yield significantly larger benefits than the costs of abatement in urban Chongqing. But cost concerns continue to stall the implementation of sulfur dioxide regulations. The current attitude of tolerance toward air pollution reflects a social choice of material wellbeing over environmental quality, albeit this choice may be obscured by China's political system.
520 $a An appropriate framework for industrial air pollution regulation in China is shown to be a combination of a permit system involving bubble, offset, and banking schemes for medium and large firms and a pollution tax on high-sulfur coal designed to encourage the use of cleaner fuels, especially among small firms.
