【 摘 要 】

This study constructs an index system to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental governance and executes the evaluation by using a China's provincial-level panel data from 2001 to 2012 and employing the generalized principle component analysis method. The results showed that over the sample period, the effectiveness of China's environmental governance has been improved greatly. But the effectiveness was unevenly improved across China with a geographic distribution of "east high west low", which hasn't been ameliorated much over the period. The clustering analysis also suggests that there is gradient phenomenon on the environmental governance performance.
