An Empirical Study on the Relationship between Economic Growth and Environmental Pollution in Jiangxi Province Based on Kuznets Curve

Abstract

本文采用2003至2017年江西省环境经济数据，选取其中具有代表性的环境污染与经济发展指标，构建了江西省人均废水排放量、人均工业废气排放量、人均工业固体废物排放量与人均GDP的计量模型，从而对江西省环境污染物排放的库兹涅茨曲线特征进行了实证分析。结果表明：江西省2003至2017年人均废水排放量、人均工业废气排放量、人均工业固体废物排放量与人均GDP拟合曲线呈现倒“U”型曲线关系，环境状况总体向好发展。 This paper adopts the environmental economic data of Jiangxi province from 2003 to 2017, and selects the representative indicators of environmental pollution and economic development. Then this paper constructs a measurement model of Jiangxi province's per capita waste water discharge, per capita industrial waste discharge, per capita industrial solid waste discharge and per capita GDP, so as to make an empirical analysis of the Kuznets Curve characteristics of Jiangxi province’s environmental pollutant discharge. The results show that Jiangxi province from 2003 to 2017 per capita waste water emissions, per capita industrial emissions, per capita industrial solid waste emissions and per capita GDP fitting curve shows an inverted “U” curve relationship, the overall environmental situation is good development.
