A Research on the Construction Material Export and Energy Consumptions Using the Gravity Model

Abstract:

This paper applies a gravity model to estimate the relationships between energy consumptions and many kinds of construction material export over the period 1992-2009 in China. The empirical result shows that energy consumptions have a significant and positive influence on the construction material export of China.
