The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between carbon emissions per capita and economic growth, carbon emissions intensity and economic growth from the perspective energy consumption for the period 1990-2008 respectively. Empirical results reveal that there exist long term cointegration between carbon emissions, regional economy growth and energy consumption in China. We apply dynamic and static panel data model to estimate the curved shape of the relationship between economy and carbon emissions while considering energy consumption respectively. We find that the curved shape is inverted “N” in static panel data model and dynamic panel data model, rather than inverted “U”. Finally this paper gives some suggestions that policy-makers can take different implementation of energy reduction and promote low carbon economic development.

Carbon Economy

With the development of low-carbon economy, it is necessary to explore the relationship between energy consumption, carbon emissions and the economic growth correctly. In this paper, the VAR model was proposed with analyzing the relationship between the three factories through pulse response graph. Through the empirical investigation, the result shows: increasing energy consumption can promote economic growth, while the increasing consumption will also raise emissions of carbon. However, the emissions of carbon have negative effect on economic growth. Therefore, we must correctly handle the relationship between the three factories. Thus, it offers the best way to develop the economic in this paper is to develop the low carbon economy.
