Does environmental regulation reduce China's haze pollution? An empirical analysis based on panel quantile regression.

ABSTRACT: Haze pollution in China is very serious and has become the source of mortality, affecting the health and lives of residents. The Chinese government adopts different policy measures to reduce haze pollution. The impact of different types of environmental regulations on haze pollution has become a hot topic for academics and government departments.

Command-and-control environmental regulation can reduce ha
