Path Analysis on the Influence Factors of Construction Carbon Emissions and Policy Implications for Jiangsu in China

Abstract:

The historical experience from developed countries shows that carbon emissions, with the process of urbanization, will exceed the construction industry, transport and other sectors of society and eventually occupy the first. So, it not only has practical significance, but has far-reaching strategic significance to transform the high-carbon construction into low-carbon. The paper describes the direct, indirect and general influences of the construction carbon emissions based on the path analysis and the related statistic data of Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2007. It provides an effective guidance for the budget and control of the low-carbon development path with the detailed analysis on each factor’s influence and mechanism.
