There are few studies analyzing whether different types of environmental regulation have differential impacts on the efficiency of the construction industry. Using 2012-2016 panel data from 30 provinces in China, the green total factor productivity (GTFP) of the construction industry is measured with a global Malmquist Luenberger productivity index based on the epsilon measure (EBM-GML) model. Thereafter, a panel Tobit regression model is proposed to explore the relationship between three types of environmental regulation and the GTFP of the construction industry. The results show that: (1) from 2012 to 2016, the GTFP of the Chinese construction industry grew slowly at an average annual rate of 0.14%; (2) both one-phase lagged command-and-control and current phase market-based environmental regulation had a positive linear relationship with GTFP. One-phase lagged voluntary environmental regulation on the other hand, had an inverted U-shaped relationship with GTFP; (3) the three types of environmental regulation can be combined to establish a suitable environmental regulation system. The findings of this study provide guidance for the sustainable development of the construction industry by combining the actions of different types of environmental regulation.
