Abstract: Whether environmental regulation will barrage technological progress has received more attention in recent years, but the relationship under the condition of open economy has been generally ignored. This paper took the 11 provinces and cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 1999-2013 as research samples, empirically tested the effects of environmental regulation on international R&D spillover effect. The results showed that:(1) environmental regulation level and international R&D spillovers present a U-shaped relationship, i.e., at beginning, relatively weak environmental regulation intensity of the provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt barraged the international technology spillovers, but with the increase of the intensity on environmental regulation and international R&D spillovers level rose; (2)different methods of environmental regulation will influence U-shaped relationship of international R&D spillovers and environmental regulation, and change the level of environmental regulation at the inflection point; (3) the level of environmental regulation in the provinces and cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is relatively low, mostly at the left of U-shaped. At the end of this paper, according to the above conclusions, we put forward some corresponding policy recommendations.

Key words: environmental regulation, international R&D spillovers, the Yangtze River Economic Belt
