Evaluating the Relationship between Economic Growth and Environmental Pollution

Abstract:

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.
