This study explores the relationship between environmental regulations (ERs) and competitiveness, and the moderating role of the research level, economic development, industry characteristics, and types of measurement in this relationship. To this end, we conducted a meta-analysis of 30 empirical studies. We found that overall, ERs are positively correlated with competitiveness; the industry characteristics have a significant moderating effect on the ER-competitiveness relationship, and ERs more significantly improve the competitiveness of pollution-intensive industries; and the relationship between ERs and competitiveness is universal across research levels, economic development, and types of measurement. This study extends the previous research by supporting the Porter hypothesis and provides a theoretical basis for governments to strengthen the intensity of ERs for pollution-intensive industries and theoretical guidance for enterprises to respond to ERs.
