Abstract: Environmental regulation is a powerful tool of the government environmental protection , wheth-er to choose the better environmental efficiency mode of production depends not only on the enterprise in -ternal environmental management ability , but also depends on the power degree of government environ-mental regulation .This paper applies the SBM -Undesirable model to measure environmental efficiency in China from 2000 to 2010.Using the spatial linear panel model of 30 provinces and cities, this paper finds that the government environmental regulation has obvious spatial spillover effects , industrial environ-mental efficiency also presents a certain degree of spatial agglomeration , and the traditional estimations have underestimated this effect owing to not considering spatial correlation .Because the sewage collection system is not reasonable and “pollution haven effect” exist, to some extent, the present income of sewage fee reduces the efficiency of the industrial environment .Therefore, to promote coordinated development of regional economy , our country should pointedly establish the coordinated regional development policy based on regional space difference and should fully consider the impact of related industries on environ -mental efficiency to develop scientifically industry planning and to optimize the industrial layout , then to promote the good environmental cooperation mechanism among regions .
