Econometric Analysis of the Relationship Between PM10 Emission and Economic Growth in China

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between PM10 Emissions and Economic Growth in China based on Environmental Kuznets Curve. It shows that in the short term, the per capita GDP has a negative promotion effect on the per capita PM10 emission change in this period. However, the lag period of per capita GDP has a positive promoting effect on the change of per capita PM10 emissions. And in the long period, China's per capita GDP is increasingly developed, and China's per capita PM10 emissions will be increasingly reduced, and the per capita PM10 emission reduction rate is significantly lower than the per capita GDP growth rate. Therefore, Local governments should adhere to preventive and restrictive economic development.
