Abstract Based on Pigou Theory, environmental tax is an external regulation to solve environmental pollution. In order to test whether the environmental tax and fee policies could produce a double dividend, namely reducing pollution and encouraging green technology innovation, we constructed the dynamic panel models and the panel threshold models of environmental tax and fee policies in this paper. The results showed that the high population density in the region hadn`t become the constraint of environmental dividend, and the industrial structure and the energy structure need to be further optimized to promote double dividend effect. The panel threshold model estimation results of the environment taxes showed that there was a nonlinear time-varying characteristics between the environmental tax and environmental pollution, and green technology innovation. The double dividend effect can only be achieved well by selecting the appropriate environmental tax interval. And the higher the level of economic development, the more obvious of the double dividend. Therefore, it should be the key to win the battle of environmental protection to make the comprehensive environmental tax system based on the heterogeneous characteristics of regional economic development in 2018.
