Abstract

This paper sorts out the relationship between environmental regulation, green technological progress and consumption upgrading at the theoretical level, and conducts an empirical analysis using a sample of 30 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2019 to investigate the mechanism of the impact of environmental regulation on consumption upgrading, and further tests the mediating effect of green technological progress. The findings show that environmental regulation has a facilitating effect on residents' consumption upgrading, and there is a mediating effect of green technological progress in the mechanism of environmental regulation on consumption upgrading, i.e. environmental regulation acts on consumption upgrading by influencing green technological progress. Therefore, the government should improve the environmental regulation system, appropriately increase the intensity of environmental regulation, and encourage green technological progress to achieve consumption upgrading in the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
