Abstract:

The governance division in public affairs in China not only refer to the principle of efficiency, but also consider the political risk factors. Based on this logic, we construct a game model in this paper to analysis the mechanism of environmental governance power division, we found that different environment governance division differences. Specific to the EIA approval powers, the degree of decentralization is directly influenced by the local science and technology level. Therefore, this paper constructs a provincial panel data for empirical test, the results show that the progress of science and technology will promote the central decentralization of the EIA approval power, which is also in line with the reform process of the EIA approval system in our country. In addition, we also find that the central government can not only reduce the political risk through environmental system reform, but also can adjust the incentive mechanism to guide the local government to protect environment.
