“Thirteen Five” period is the critical period of the overall revitalization of old industrial base in Liaoning, the economic and social development in Liaoning province has entered the fast lane, In this paper, analysis based on the current situation of energy use and pollution in Liaoning province, decoupling theory evaluation model the currently association in Liaoning Province, carbon emissions...
This paper examines the causal relationship among economic growth, energy structure, R&D investment and carbon emission in China by using autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach of cointegration during the period of 1990–2011. In order to examine this linkage, theauthors use the two-step procedures. Firstly, theauthors conducted the unit root tests to measure whether the single...
In this paper we present an empirical study to verify the assertion of a negative impact of economic growth on carbon efficiency using a cross country analysis. More precisely we are concerned with the relation between past growth and CO2 emissions, assuming that rapid growth in the past may explain lower carbon efficiency today. The central idea tested is that hasty growth is likely to slow down...
Along with the continuous progress of modernization, China's economy maintains a comparatively high growth rate, above 8% from 2000 to 2010. Generally speaking, one country or region's GDP growth rate is roughly proportional to growth rate of energy consumption. As the economy grows continuously, the sustaining increase of energy consumption causes serious greenhouse effect by CO2 emissions. This...
This study attempts to examine empirically the long and short-run relationships between CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in China using ARDL bounds test Approach for the period 1985–2008. The results indicate that there exist long and short-run relationships between the variables. Energy consumption has a positive impact on CO2 emissions and economic growth affects CO2 emissions...
Environmental taxation system generally refers to all taxes imposed in order to achieve certain environmental objectives. To introduce a carbon tax is imperative in China because it will perfect China's environmental taxation system, mitigate China's pressure of CO2 emission, establish the image of China as a responsible power, change China's economic growth pattern, and respond to the international...
Carbon tax is not only an important part of the environmental taxation system, but also an important tool of environmental economic policy. The theoretical basis of a carbon tax is to internalize externalities in order to avoid the Tragedy of the Commons in atmosphere. Carbon tax would greatly decrease CO2 emissions. It would restrain economic growth in the short term, but is conducive to the healthy...
By using a modified emergy-based ecological footprint model, this paper dynamic calculated and analyzed the emergy-based ecological footprint and carrying capacity of energy consumption of Tianjin city from 2000 to 2008, and on the basis of this assessed the dynamic changes of carbon emission structure of energy consumption of Tianjin. The result showed that in past nine years the ecological carrying...
This paper investigates the long run Granger causality relationship between economic growth, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in China during the period 1952-2007, controlling for gross fixed capital formation, human capital and labor. To supplement the findings of cointegrating analysis, we test the causal relationships of these three variables by using the relatively new times series...
Energy is an important material basis in economic growth and social development. China's industrialization will consume inevitably lots of energy and resources. Energy supply and energy security have become major Constraints of China's industrialization. At the same time, the issue of China's energy security is more serious from the climate pressure of the international society. This paper studies...
This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for 29 provinces of China during the period of 1995-2007. Panel unit root, panel cointegration and Granger causality are employed to infer the causal relationship. The results show there is a panel cointegration relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. The Granger causality results indicate the...
In 2009, the major leaders all over the world met together for the summit on climate change in Copenhagen. A clear signal is sent to public that the traditional manner of energy consumption and economic growth needs to be changed fundamentally in the near future. In order to reach the target of reducing green house gas emission, technologies such as renewable energy sources (RES) and plug-in hybrid...
The rapid growth of the economy has brought great benefits to Chinese socio-economic levels during the past several decades. However, it also increases the risk of energy security and environmental problems. This paper explores the inter-relationships among economy, energy consumption and CO2 emission in China in order to provide sustainable development policy making. Grey relation analysis was used...
