Abstract
- This research investigates the impacts of income inequality (proxied by the Gini index) on environmental governance (proxied by per capita government investments on industrial pollution prevention) by employing the panel fixed effect model, system generalized method of moments and bias-corrected least-squares dummy variables model for 23 provinces from 1995 to 2014. The results indicate that income inequality exhibits significantly positive impacts on government environmental governance investment in China, which reveals that an increase in income inequality may help to improve environmental governance in China; we thus offer several remittable implications for those policy makers in Chinese provinces as well as governments of emergent economies like China.
