Abstract: Why has the central government been actively introducing policy guidance in the solar photovoltaic policy, while the local government has failed to respond positively from the initial motivation? Previous studies ignored the influencing factors of local government's solar energy policy, and did not consider the different stages of industrial development. Based on the provincial panel data from 2005 to 2014, this paper takes the local government's solar photovoltaic policy as the research object, and makes an empirical analysis combining with different stages of industrial development. It is found that economic development and energy demand are the main factors for local governments to issue solar photovoltaic policies. The results of regression in different periods further reveal that local governments have to lend a helping hand to avoid the local economy from being damaged, rather than the logic of cultivating enterprises.

摘要： 为什么在太阳能光伏政策中，中央政府一直积极出台政策引导，而地方政府从一开始的动力不足到后面的积极响应？以往的研究忽视地方政府出台太阳能政策的影响因素，并且没有考虑到产业发展的不同阶段。本文基于2005年至2014年省级面板数据，以地方政府太阳能光伏政策作为研究对象，结合产业发展不同阶段进行实证分析。研究发现经济发展与能源需求是地方政府出台太阳能光伏政策的主要因素。分时段回归结果则进一步揭示了地方政府出台政策并不是出于培育企业的逻辑，而是为了避免地方经济受到重创，而不得不伸出援助之手。
