Abstract
The paper does research on China's economic growth forces—industrialization and urbanization on environmental quality, and on the influence of environmental protection on economic growth.According to the experience in the past,by econometric model and statistics,the paper measures the basic characteristics of the overall economic growth and Kuznets Curve of the structure effect of China from 1995 to 2008.We found the total GDP curve of industrial smoke and industrial dust emissions has the characteristics of inverted U-curve,which is the typical shape of environmental Kuznets curve.Environmental Kuznets curve of the total GDP of industrial wastewater has N-type curve characteristics,and the sulfur dioxide curve is linear increasing.The industrialization level curves of industrial waste water and sulfur dioxide are N-type curve.The industrial smoke industrialization curve is linear increasing.The urbanization level curves of industrial waste water,industrial sulfur dioxide and industrial dust are inverted curve of N-type,N-type and U -type,respectively.Considering the urban and rural reform and the research on Kutnets curve of structural effects of industrialization and urbanization is more meaningful than merely considering the traditional environmental Kuznets curve of overall economic growth,and it will be significant to deal with the relationship between China's economic development and environmental quality.
