摘　　要：省以下环保机构垂直管理改革作为推进国家生态环境治理体系与治理能力现代化的重大制度变革,是一项涉及基层环保机构环境治理机制设计和权限调整的全局性变革。在实现“双碳”战略已成为中国新时期经济高质量发展关键目标的背景下,考察地方环保机构垂直管理改革是否通过提升政府环境监管能力实现预期的改革成效并进而推动微观企业绿色转型成为学术界亟待研究的重大议题。基于省以下环保机构垂直管理改革在各地区渐进式推进实施所提供的研究场景,选取2010年至2021年沪深两市A股上市公司作为研究样本,构建多时点双重差分模型,检验这一环保机构垂直管理改革对微观企业碳排放的影响及其作用机制。并进一步从地方政府面临的双碳目标压力、企业面临的外部媒体监督以及自身所具备的资源基础三方面探讨了影响改革成效的约束性条件。研究结果表明,地方环保机构垂直管理有助于降低企业碳排放强度。机制检验表明,地方环保机构垂直管理在宏观层面提升基层环保部门环境规制力度的同时有助于削弱省级环保部门环境监管的“距离衰减效应”,从而在微观层面强化对企业碳排放的“监督效应”并进行碳减排的“激励效应”,促使企业通过加强环境管理和绿色创新等长效机制实现低碳转型。截面分析发现,在地方政府面临的双碳目标压力较大、企业面临的外部媒体监督水平较低以及自身所具备的资源基础较好时,改革实施对企业碳排放的抑制效果更为明显。结构设置和权力配置是政府体制改革的关键问题,在中国生态环境监管由传统属地管理模式向垂直管理模式过渡初期,从微观企业碳排放视角量化评估并验证了省以下环保机构垂直管理的治理效应,揭示了如何通过基层治理体制改革更好发挥地方政府在环境监管和促进企业低碳As a major institutional change to modernize the national ecological and environmental governance system and capacity,the vertical management reform of sub-provincial environmental agencies is a global change,which involving the design of environmental governance mechanisms and adjustment of the authority of grassroots environmental agencies.Against the backdrop that the“dual carbon”strategy has become a key objective for China′s high-quality economic development in the new era,it has become an important issue for academics to examine whether the vertical management reform of local environmental protection institutions has achieved the expected reform results by improving the government′s environmental regulatory capacity and thus promoting the green transformation of micro enterprises.Based on the research scenario that gradually implemented vertical management reform of environmental protection agencies below the provincial level in each region,this study selects listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from2010 to 2021 as research samples,constructs a multi-point difference-in-difference model,and tests the impact and mechanism of the vertical management reform of environmental protection agencies on micro enterprise carbon emissions.And it further explore the constraint conditions that affect the effectiveness of the reform in terms of the local governments′dual-carbon target pressure,the external media supervision and firm′s resource base.The results show that the vertical management of local environmental protection departments can help reduce the carbon emission intensity of enterprises.And the mechanism tests show that the vertical management of local environmental protection departments can help to enhance the environmental regulation efforts of grassroots environmental protection departments and weaken the“distance attenuation effects”of environmental supervision by provincial environmental protection departments at the macro level.Thus,the vertical management of local env
