Abstract
In the process of industry transfer, how to ensure the sustainable development of ecological environment is a very important problem for every local government. Therefore, this paper introduces environmental factors into the transfer mechanism of pollution industry, establishes a Triangle Model, and empirically studies the transfer mechanism of China’s pollution industry under various combination scenarios based on the panel data of 30 provinces in 2000–2015. The results show that: (1) The pollution industry transfer is the result of the change of regional competitive advantages; the industrial advantage is the primary factor of pollution industry transfer in China and is positive role in attracting industrial transfer. (2) With the continuous promotion of regional coordination strategy and ecological civilization construction, the attraction of regional factors to industry transfer has been reduced, and the inhibition of environmental factors to pollution industry is increasing. In addition, it is worth noting that China’s pollution industry had not gone to “innovation highland” but “environmental depression” during the research period, that is, the phenomenon of PHH more likely happened during the process of industry transfer among Chinese provinces. The paper suggests that all provinces should adhere to the concept of green development and promote industrial transformation and upgrading through industry transfer.
