ARE STRONGER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE IN AGRICULTURE OF CHINA?

This paper investigates the efforts of environmental policy on the transformation of agricultural development mode. We estimate environment technological efficiency under both weak and strong disposability assumptions and use the difference to calculate the pollution abatement cost. Conclusion the data envelopment analysis model respectively on environmental policy implementation effect and agricultural development mode change evaluation, resulting in environmental governance costs and the transformation of agricultural development mode performance, further analysis of the relationship between the two, and no significant influence of the climate and environment policy on the transformation of the mode of agricultural development. Generally, our findings show that environmental policy did not guarantee better environmental conditions even though China adopted stronger regulations to meet the higher standards.
