摘　　要：本文利用2001-2010年中国省级PM2.5年度数据,运用空间杜宾模型,分析财政分权对雾霾污染及其波动的影响,揭示地方政府在环境治理中的行为,并验证中国环境治理"搭便车"现象的存在性。结果表明,财政分权对雾霾的影响存在明显的空间相关性,财政分权度的提高会显著加剧本地区及周边地区的雾霾污染,但财政分权对以工业固体废弃物为代表的局部性污染物作用不明显,中国存在雾霾污染"搭便车"现象;财政分权对雾霾污染波动的直接效应显著为正,间接效应显著为负,综合之下,其总效应不显著。地方政府能有效控制本地雾霾污染,但由于环境"竞次"竞争,地方政府会削弱对环境的把控。Using China＇s provincial PM2. 5 annual data between 2001 and 2010, this paper empiri- cally analyzes the impacts of fiscal decentralization on smog pollution and its volatility via spatial Durbin model to reveal the behavior of local governments＇ in environmental governance. We then further test the ex- istence of ＂free riding＂ phenomenon for smog pollution. The empirical results show that there is an obvious spatial correlation for the effects of fiscal decentralization on the smog pollution, which indicates that smog pollution of both local and surrounding regions will increase as fiscal decentralization enhances. It addition- ally shows that fiscal decentralization has no significant influence on local pollutants represented by industri- al solid waste. The above findings confirm environmental ＂free riding＂ phenomenon in China. Moreover, the direct effect of fiscal decentralization on smog pollution volatility is significantly positive, yet its indirect effect is significantly negative, which leads its total effects to be non-significant. Thus, even though local governments can control the local smog pollution effectively, the control of environment will be weakened due to the ＂race to bottom＂ effects.
