The Study on the Impact of Environmental Regulation on the Performance of High-tech Industry

In the era of knowledge and low-carbon economy, how environmental regulation can affect the performance of high-tech industry has become a hot topic in many academic studies. Basing on the study sample of the high-tech industry, this paper develops the scales of environmental regulation and the performance of high-tech industry, and then tests the impact of environmental regulation on the performance of high-tech industry through SEM. The results show that command-control environmental regulation has insignificant affect on high-tech industry economic performance, ecological performance and technological performance, but incentive environmental regulation and voluntary environmental regulation have significant positive effect on high-tech industry economic performance, ecological performance and technological performance.
