Abstract
In order to promote the economic development of the autonomous region, Inner Mongolia actively undertakes the industrial transfer in the eastern developed areas. In the process of promoting the economic development of Inner Mongolia, industrial transfer has also brought some environmental problems. In order to explore the relationship between industrial transfer, economic growth and the environment of Inner Mongolia, this paper selects the time series data of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2001 to 2016, and conducts an empirical analysis by establishing an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model. The study found that industrial transfer has brought the economic growth and the upgrading of industrial structure to Inner Mongolia, but also brought about environmental problems. Therefore, this paper proposes that Inner Mongolia should increase investment in R&D, strengthen investment in environmental governance, and make full use of the advantages of geography, labor force and natural resources to achieve high-quality economic development and industrial structure optimization and upgrade.
