- Abstract
Based on the perspective of Internet plus, this paper constructs a simultaneous equation model which includes e-commerce dependence degree for the external trade environment. The panel data of 11 major cities in Zhejiang Province from 2008 to 2015 are selected for empirical analysis. The research shows under the Internet plus, the three determining economic composed of the scale effect, composition effect and technique effect all have positive effects on the SO2 pollution emissions. The scale effect is significantly positive, indicating that the increase in SO2 emissions will be caused by the expansion of production scale and then affects the environment; on the contrary, the estimation of composition effect and technique effect are significantly negative, indicating that to some extent foreign trade helps to protect the environment and helps to reduce SO2 pollution emissions. In general, the development of cross-border e-commerce in Zhejiang Province promotes the traditional trade in bottleneck period to transform and upgrade, which helps to improve the environment.
