Semi-Parametric Estimation for Urbanization and CO2 Emissions in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper examined the effect of the urbanization on CO2 emissions in China, using the semi-parametric panel data model. The results show that an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between urbanization and CO2 emissions in China and further development of urbanization is beneficial in reducing CO2 emissions.
