Randomized trial examines policy impacts on export technology complexity in 67 countries, suggesting economic links are key.

This research aims to analyze how environmental regulations affect export technological complexity across different countries.
Utilized panel data from 67 countries covering 1995 to 2020
Employed Spatial Durbin Model to assess the impacts
Explored cross-border spillover effects using varied spatial weight matrices.
Environmental regulation shows a significant 'U-shaped' direct effect on export technological complexity.
Different spillover effects observed: 'U-shaped' under geographical distance, 'inverted U-shaped' under economic distance matrices.
Developing countries exhibited higher turning points for both direct and indirect effects compared to developed countries.

Yin et al. (2026) studied this question.
