Abstract

In recent years, the continuous development of economy has also promoted the vigorous development of China's paper industry, but the disadvantages of paper industry such as large water consumption and serious pollution are more prominent. Therefore, the government has formulated a series of environmental regulation policies to restrict the heavy pollution in the production process of paper industry. Research on the impact of environmental regulation on the technological innovation of the paper industry in the new era is conducive to improve the quality policy of environmental supervision of China's paper industry, which has good theoretical value and practical significance. The data in this paper are from a series of indicators of the paper industry from 2009 to 2018. Among them, the indicators to measure the level of technological innovation and the indicators to calculate the intensity of environmental regulation are selected. The relationship between the two is empirically analyzed by grey correlation method and regression analysis. The empirical results show that environmental regulation has a positive impact on technological innovation of China's paper industry.
