Abstract: Based on the panel data of 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China except Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from 2006 to 2019, the mediation effect model and Sobel test method were used to study the influence path of domestic environmental regulations on industrial structure upgrading and the mediation effect of each path. The results showed that China's environmental regulation had a significant positive direct effect on industrial structure upgrading; environmental regulation could promote the upgrading of China's industrial structure through technological innovation and consumption structure, and their effects were 84.0% and 43.0%, respectively; environmental regulation inhibited industrial structure upgrading through the paths of international trade and foreign investment, with the effects of 13.0% and 4.0%, respectively.

Key words: environmental regulation, industrial structure upgrading, transmission mechanism, mediation effect, path analysis
