Abstract： This paper leverages data from listed firms and their affiliates from 2012 to 2020 to explore the role and status of the central environmental protection inspection in improving environmental governance. The results show that after the inspection team settled in a province, the investment stock of polluting firms in their local subordinate enterprises decreased by about 8%. Further mechanism analysis reveals a substitution relationship between the environmental regulatory systems established by local governments and enterprises autonomously and the direct supervision by the central authority. At the macro level, the impact of inspection actions is less significant in regions with a high emphasis on environmental protection, substantial financial investments in pollution control, sound legal systems, and high pollutant discharge efficiency. In other words, if listed firms have transferred production to areas with lax regulation, the impact of central environmental protection inspections will be greater. At the micro level, the impact of inspection actions on state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and politically unrelated enterprises is minor, as these enterprises tend to have higher investment intensity in environmental protection projects and good environmental performance. The substitution relationship between self-regulation and central supervision suggests that sinking regulatory actions organized by the central government can precisely target the weak links of local governments and enterprises in environmental governance, reflecting the significant role of central environmental protection inspections in improving relevant institutional constructions. Furthermore, the inspection actions also promote pollution enterprises to enhance resource utilization efficiency, as the total factor productivity of polluting enterprises increases after inspection actions. Similar inspection models also exist in various fields such as land resources and judiciary, the results of this paper provide evidence for the necessity and effectiveness of such systems.
