Abstract：Based on the sequence DEA-DDF, regulation index, Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) productivity index, environmental technical efficiency, cost of environmental regulation and total factor productivity in eastern, central, western, northeast regions, 30 provinces of china from 1999 to 2010 were measured, and re-testing the Porter hypothesis were taken.The results showed that, the structure of environmental technical efficiency presented the highest in eastern, a little bit lower in northeast, lower in Central and the lowest in western regions. The cost of environmental regulation was the highest in the old industrial base of the northeast , the lowest in the western regions; environmental regulation intensity and total factor productivity of nationwide and four main regions had significant positive correlations, which supported the existence of the Porter hypothesis.The tests on the effect of technological progress showed that , only the central region supported the existence of the Porter hypothesis, the tests of the western regions showed that the higher regulation of carbon emissions would have a negative impact to technological advances. The inspection of the technical efficiency effect of changes in nationwide and four main regions supported the Porter hypothesis, the strengthening of the regulation of carbon emissions intensity would promote the various regions to catch up with the optimal production frontiers at different time.
