The Relation between Environment Pollution and Economic Growth in Western of China - Taking Chongqing as an Example

Abstract:

With the environmental Kuznets curve theory, this paper analyzed the relation between economic growth and environment pollution and took Chongqing in western of China as an example. The results showed that the relation between economic growth and environment pollution in Chongqing appeared the "pour N", that was to say, as the economic growth, the environment pollution in Chongqing would present the trend of "down- rise-down". From the year of 2000, China had been implementing the strategy of "the great development of the west", which led to the worsening environmental pollution as the economic growth. But in recent years, with more capital into the western region for controlling pollution, the environmental had been improved.
