Abstract

Based on China’s 11 Free Trade Agreements signed with 19 trade partners, this paper discusses how the environmental protection provisions affect trade liberalization. Firstly, it makes use of Chinese merchandise trade data from 2008 to 2015 to analyze the features of trade between China and 19 trade agreement partners. Then it introduces the population, territory area, the distance between China and the trade partners, income difference, social labor productivity, the infrastructure indicators and the environmental protection regulations as independent variables, which builds the extended gravity model to explore the influence of environmental protection regulations. The results of the empirical analysis show that the greater the intensity of related environmental protection is, the larger promotion of trade liberalization will be. Trade agreement partner’s infrastructure construction has a positive impact; geographical distance has a negative impact. However, the impact of economic difference is not significant.
