Analysis on the influence of industrial agglomeration on smog pollution based on spatial perspective

Based on the spatial perspective, this paper analyzes the influence of industrial agglomeration on smog pollution. On the basis of the data of 31 provinces in China from 2010 to 2015, this paper makes an empirical study by spatial econometric methods. The results show that the impact of industrial agglomeration on smog pollution is significant, and industrial output agglomeration can reduce the smog pollution. Moreover, there is a clear spatial spillover effect between smog pollution and industrial output agglomeration. In view of that, in the process of developing industrialization, China should effectively deal with the relationships among the three factors of agglomeration, efficiency and environment, to establish inter-regional coordination mechanism, and adopt the mode of common development and common governance among regions.
