The paper empirically investigated the relationship between GDP and carbon emissions in Shanxi Province, P. R. China, from 1998 to 2012. Firstly, the unit root test and co-integration test are carried out for the two time series, and the co-integration equations are obtained. Then the Granger causality test was carried out, and it is found that when the lag order is 3, the carbon emissions of Shanxi Province is the Granger cause of GDP, while GDP is not the Granger cause of carbon emissions. The conclusion of the study shows that energy consumption in Shanxi Province still brings obvious economic benefits. The economic development of Shanxi Province has not caused a significant increase in carbon emissions in the past 15 years, which may be due to the preliminary effect of the economic transformation of Shanxi Province in recent years. This is consistent with the result that the carbon emission per unit GDP of Shanxi Province shows a downward trend in the past 15 years. Finally, it is put forward that active adjustment of energy structure, development of renewable energy, implementation of technological innovation, optimization of industrial structure and reasonable government intervention are effective measures for sustainable regional economic growth.

Abstract. Based on ARDL model, this paper discussed the relationship of energy consumption, carbon emission and economic growth.The results indicated that the key to reduce carbon emissions lies in reducing energy consumption, optimizing energy structure.

The study on the relationship between investment in environmental governance, carbon emission and economic growth is helpful for the relevant government departments to coordinate the influence among them when formulating the policies of reducing emission and conserving energy, so as to take the comparative advantages of various factors and promote the benign interaction between economic development and environmental governance. In this paper, the data of Per capita GDP, per capita investment in environmental governance and per capita CARBON dioxide emissions in China from 2000 to 2019 are selected as the research basis, and variables are studied by means of Granger causality and impulse response function. As shown in the results, there is a single Granger relationship between investment in environmental governance and carbon emissions, that is, the increase of investment in environmental governance leads to the reduction of carbon emissions. The influence of economic growth on environmental governance investment is small, but in the long term, it can restrain the growth of carbon emissions. Investment in environmental governance can promote economic growth and stimulate a reduction in the emissions in the short term; Economic growth was hindered by the emissions in the long term and fail to stimulate increased investment in environmental governance. Based on these findings, this paper proposes policy Suggestions for optimizing the structure of environmental governance investment, improving the carbon emission monitoring and response mechanism, and strengthening the technological level of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gas emissions is one of most important environmental problems; the growth of carbon emissions has attracted more and more attention. However, a phenomenon is that economic growth is always together with increasing of carbon emissions. In order to control carbon emissions validly in the premise of economic growth and taking into account that there are regional economic growth disparities for most countries, this paper builds a carbon emissions rights optimization model under regional economic growth disparities. This paper proposes two strategies to evaluate economic growth and carbon emissions: one is the same to all regions, and the other one is different. After calculating, finding that the same regulation of emissions reduction for all regions is better for economic growth and different regulation of emissions reduction is better for balanced development of regional economy. It provides certain rating criteria to find equilibrium point of economic development and carbon emissions.

Bolivia is a wide surface country, with more than one million of squared kilometers and diverse ecological ecosystems. Besides its landlockedness, Bolivian economic activity has been shaped by the diverse geographic characteristics mainly distance and the availability of communication channels. In this paper I use a novel regional database of regional economic activity to analyze in what extent the spatial dimension has influenced medium term economic growth of the nine regions during the past 45 years. Contrary to standard approach based on contiguity or geographical distance to introduce spatial issues in the analysis, I use an exponential decay approach built on “true distance” jointly a gravity model. Then, I found as significant the inclusion of spatial consideration in the estimation of static and dynamic balanced panel data models, where I found how the process of regional economic growth has been slightly influenced by this spatial feature implying the still low degree of integration among Bolivian regions.

In sustainable development, infrastructure has an important role, although infrastructure growth and investment have positive and negative impacts. Indonesia has a strategic program in the form of infrastructure improvement. However, due to the condition of Indonesia which is an archipelago, infrastructure development has only concentrated on Java, especially in Jakarta City. This resulted in a gap in infrastructure development outside of Java. This study identifies the relationship between infrastructure and the regional economy in Indonesia. Indonesia is an archipelagic country so that long-distance transportation, such as using airports, is an absolute necessity to support equitable economic activities and support sustainable development. The relationship between traffic on airports and regional economies is still debating and growing. Therefore, by looking at the characteristics of the archipelagic country, it is interesting to see the relationship between infrastructure and the regional economy in Indonesia. This research aims to provide an understanding of the effect of economic growth in airports and be able to be a stakeholder consideration to making policies about air transportation and regional economic growth evenly on island geography conditions such as Indonesia. The relationship between the two in this study is shown by looking at traffic in airports and 17 economic sectors of GRDP in six different regencies with similar characteristics. The model show the relationship in this study. This model built using a regression approach. The results of this model show the relationship between traffic in airports with regional economic sectors, especially outside the island of Java. The results of this study can be concluded that the effect is found between the economic sectors of the region on the existence of airports
