摘　　要：作为负责任的发展中大国,中国的高质量发展需要构建完善的现代环境治理体系。分权治理是现代环境治理体系的重要特征,但分权产生的委托代理关系使信息不对称成为环境治理有效的主要障碍之一。2007年启动的国控重点污染源自动监控能力建设项目是针对环境分权治理中信息不对称的一项改革举措,可以有效缓解企业与政府、地方政府与中央政府之间的信息不对称问题,进而提高环境政策的有效性,并促进企业的节能减排。然而,现有文献较少对“重点污染源监控”通过信息沟通促进企业节能减排的机制进行深入探讨,更缺乏相关经验分析。“重点污染源监控”使被监控企业无法瞒报虚报排污数据,倒逼企业改进生产方式和技术,同时也通过释放威慑信号促进企业技术进步,进而在提升企业生产绩效的同时实现节能减排;不同企业的资源禀赋、技术水平、发展模式等具有明显差异,因而“重点污染源监控”的节能减排效应可能表现出多样化的异质性。本文采用中国工业企业数据库和中国工业企业污染排放数据库的数据,运用双重差分法实证检验“重点污染源监控”的节能减排效应及其机制和异质性,分析发现:“重点污染源监控”显著促进了被监控企业的节能减排,且技术进步在其中发挥了部分中介效应;“重点污染源监控”对被监控民营企业具有显著的节能效应和减排效应,而对被监控国有企业仅具有显著的减排效应(节能效应不显著);“重点污染源监控”对东部、中部地区和高能耗行业的被监控企业产生了显著的节能减排效应,但对西部地区和非高能耗行业的被监控企业没有显著的节能减排效应。相比现有文献,本文从缓解信息不对称角度探讨了优化环境分权治理的信息沟通路径,并对“重点污染源监控”的节能减排效应及其技术进步路径和异质�China is a responsible major developing country,and its high-quality development requires the establishment of a sound modern environmental governance system.Decentralized governance is an important feature of modern environmental governance systems,but the principal-agent relationship generated by decentralization makes information asymmetry one of the main obstacles to effective environmental governance.Launched in 2007,the national control project of building automatic monitoring capability of key pollution sources is a reform to solve the problem of information asymmetry in the governance of environmental decentralization.It can effectively alleviate the problem of information asymmetry between enterprises and the government,local governments and the central government,thereby improving the effectiveness of environmental policies and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises.However,there are few in-depth discussions on the mechanism of“monitoring key pollution sources”to promote energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises through information communication,and there is a lack of relevant empirical analysis.“Monitoring key pollution sources”makes it impossible for monitored enterprises to conceal and falsely report pollution discharge data,forcing enterprises to improve production methods and technologies.Meanwhile,it also promotes technological progress by releasing deterrence signals,thus achieving energy conservation and emission reduction while improving the production performance of enterprises.Different enterprises have obvious differences in resource endowment,technology level and development mode,so the energy saving and emission reduction effect of“monitoring key pollution sources”may show diversified heterogeneity.This paper adopts the data of China Industrial Enterprise Database and China Industrial Enterprise Pollution Emission Database,and uses the double difference method to empirically test the energy saving and emission reduction effect of“m
