The Relationship

The paper evaluates the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution of Anhui province using the data from 1990 to 2012. The indicators for the evaluation included emission of industrial waste water (EIWW), emission of industrial waste gas (EIWG), emission of industrial solid waste (EISW) and GDP per capita (GDPPC). The results show that the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution of Anhui province is different from Environmental Kuznets curve. There is a U-shaped plus inverted U-shaped curve between EIWW and GDPPC. EIWG and EISW keep increasing monotonically. The turning points of EIWG and EISW both apparently less than that of developed countries. Our study then predicts that EIWG and EISW begin to decrease when the GDPPC reaches 3421Yuan and 5189Yuan (The price of 1978) respectively. Our study reveals the importance of increasing environmental protection expense and strengthening the construction of environmental policy.

The Relationship

A long time ago, economic growth was the main indicator of countries’ economic health. However, since the 1970s, the analysis of the relationship between economic growth and other economic phenomena such as inequality has begun to grow (Sundrum, 1974). Much of the literature on the link between economic growth and income inequality is based on Kuznets revolutionary theory. The purpose of our article is to suspect the causality relationship between growth and inequality. To do this, we used data from 189 countries for the period between 1990 and 2015. We estimated a global model and three other of each category of countries in terms of development. In the global model, economic growth is insignificant even if its sign is positive. The same result appears in the developing country model and the moderately developed countries one. However, in the developed countries model, economic growth is negatively and statistically related to inequality. The Kuznets curve is approved in our study only when using human development indicator in the place of growth. Growth explain inequality’s movement in our study only in the model of developed countries and its coefficient is negative.

Basing on the theories of Environmental Kuznets Curve,this paper analyzes the relationship between industrial economic growth and waste gas,waste water and solid wastes with the economic and environmental statistics of Chongqing Municipality from 1995 to 2009. The study shows that there is a inverted N-type of environmental Kuznets curve of the industrial waste water with the rising of industrial per capita value, but it lies in the left side of the EKC. There exists a extremely notable relationship between the industrial per capita value and produced volume of industrial solid wastes,but the curve has not come up to the turning point. In order to achieve the harmonious development between industrial economic growth and environmental pollution in Chongqing,we should establish the long-effect mechanism for environmental protection.

Fujian is very wealthy in natural resources, which provides a good environment for social development and people’s life. However, with the development of economy, environmental pollution has become an importation problem in Fujian. In order to discuss the linkage relationship between economic development and environmental pollution, this paper selects the data of the secondary industry, industrial waste gas emissions, industrial waste water emissions and industrial solid waste production from 1995 to 2017 in Fujian, establishes the VAR model, explore the relationship between the development of secondary industry and environmental pollution. The results show that the association between the development of the secondary industry and environmental pollution is monotonously increasing. The industrial waste gas has become the main pollutant restricting the development of the secondary industry. Industrial solid waste has made the largest contribution to the development of the secondary industry, indicating a positive dynamic correlation.

The Relationship

Recently, the problem of environmental pollution has become the main obstacle that restricts the regional economic development. Shandong is an economically strong province of China. The government of Shandong must pay attention to the relationship between economic growth and environmental protection, if we want to achieve the sustainable economic development and build a harmonious society better and faster. This article is based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis. We have collected the GDP per capita and three types of waste emissions of 1981-2009 in Shandong province related data. Then we found the relationship between the economic growth and various pollutants by using regression analysis method, so as to provide the government with theoretical guidance for formulating environmental protection policies.

The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between pay inequality, economic growth, and performance in Korea. Pay inequality is estimated by using Theil’s index to identify the factors determining the level of pay inequality, and establish its relationship with economic growth and performance. For the empirical results we use panel data on the Korean manufacturing sector for the period 1993 to 2003. It appears that a large portion of rising pay inequality can be attributed to rising relative pay among the small-sized firms, outside the capital city area and in the ICT sectors which were affected by the economic structural reform since 1997. The findings support the hypothesis of an “augmented” Kuznets Curve, according to which certain developed countries are found on an upward-sloping addendum to the original formulation of Kuznets.

The Relationship

Considering the necessity of achieving economic development by keeping the quality of the environment, the aim of this paper is to study the impact of economic growth on GHG emissions in a sample of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries (V4 countries, Bulgaria and Romania) in the period of 1996–2019. In the context of dynamic ARDL panel and environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), the relationship between GHG and GDP is N-shaped. A U-shaped relationship was obtained in the renewable Kuznets curve (RKC). Energy consumption, domestic credit to the private sector, and labor productivity contribute to pollution, while renewable energy consumption reduces the GHG emissions. However, more efforts are required for promoting renewable energy in the analyzed countries.
