Empirical Study on Relationship Between Economic Growth and Environmental Pollution in China

Jisong Wu

Abstract

Panel data of 29 provinces in China during 1999-2005 are used to examine the relationship expressed by Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) between per capita income and pollution indicators in eight categories. It is found that the EKC does not assume a definite shape for all pollution indicators, and the inverted-U-shaped curve can change in a long time. The curve shape is related with pollution indicators and data types.
