With more and more countries in the world of low-carbon economy concerns, academics and decision-makers have gradually reached a consensus that low-carbon economy is the best economic response to climate change models.30years of reform and opening up, China's sustained rapid economic development, but increasingly prominent issues such as energy shortage, environmental degradation worsening. Faced with this situation, Hu proposed a "people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable," the scientific concept of development for China's development of low-carbon economy and achieve sustainable development in the specified direction. As the subject of a novel, low-carbon economy indicates that the future economic development of a form, the core is to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions, in order to establish a new energy structure and economic development models, The key is related to technological innovation and institutional innovation. Low-carbon economic development is an important guarantee for sustainable development, it is China's new economic development model to explore an effective way. China's vast territory, geography, history and many other factors have led to huge differences in economic development, each level of development of regional low-carbon economy, the state of the various policies in different regions of low-carbon economy will have what effect will this have a low-carbon economic development model to provide theoretical support and practical basis.Full text including introduction part, a total of eight chapters.Chapter ?:Introduction. This chapter describes the background of this research topic, research purpose and meaning, while the content of research papers and structural arrangements, research methods and research issues such as the basic ideas are described, while this may be a lack of innovation and introduction.Chapter ?:theoretical basis for research. This chapter summarizes the low-carbon economy, regional economic, environmental and resource economic, ecological and economic theories and related methods. Regional development theories, especially the idea of regional imbalances in development, this study of low-carbon economy have different effects in different regions of the theoretical basis; the environment and human resource development of economic theory is clear and should adhere to the core idea of sustainable development, both to protect the resources and ecological environment, but also conducive to human survival and development; ecological economic theory is a low-carbon economy in the harmonious development between man and nature under a supplement. The theory of low-carbon economy of detail, follow-up studies will pave the way and method of preparation.Chapter ?:The Origin and exploration of low-carbon economy. Review of human society from an agricultural society to a low carbon-carbon industrial society towards a low carbon innovation and the future of society and social development process. Describes the human process of understanding the low-carbon economy, analysis of low-carbon economic theory from the theory of the birth of sustainable development to explore the birth of the road, and then describes the history of foreign low-carbon economic development and experience, on this basis that our development of low-carbon economy is to optimize energy end groove, protecting the environment, the only way to achieve sustainable social development of China's political, social, economic, environmental and technology has great significance.Chapter ?: China's regional low-carbon economy to measure and compare. This chapter from the low-carbon economic development level, government policies, the degree of support for low carbon and low-carbon environment endowment of three-pronged approach, fully consider the economic development potential of low-carbon multi-dimensional, multi-level, through qualitative and quantitative combination of methods to build a more accurate and objective reflection of the regional comprehensive economic development of low carbon index system. By building low-carbon economic development of China's regional system of indicators to measure the various provinces in China, found in eastern China's leading low-carbon economic development level, low-carbon economic development in the western region of medium level, while the central region of low-carbon economy development is lagging behind the national average, pending further development. It is found that the eastern region of low-carbon economy is a major factor in the development of better economic growth, a higher degree of carbon, the carbon constraints are low resource endowment; western levels of economic development in the middle of low-carbon, mainly due to low-carbon resources are relatively abundant, but relatively low level of economic development in low carbon, low-carbon future economic development impediments; the central region of the eastern region to undertake the transfer of backward industries, there is no carbon in western rich resources, low-carbon economy the lowest level, the development of low-carbon economy is an important future area.Chapter Five: China's regional economic policy simulation model of low carbon building. CGE model used in this chapter the basic general equilibrium theory, low-carbon policies will have control module implanted in them, and by adjusting the model was constructed to reflect different policy simulations with the role of different regions of China's regional policy simulation model of low-carbon economy.Chapter ?: Regional differences in economic policy under the low-carbon simulation and scenario analysis. With the model established by the last chapter, this chapter will be a carbon tax, heavy export tax rebates, levying an ad valorem tax fossil fuels, industrial restructuring, the development of CDM projects and other measures to simulate. By simulating this chapter found that low-carbon policies in different regions will have different effects. According to the simulation results, the implementation of a carbon tax would be on the three regions have different degrees of negative macroeconomic impact, but implementation of the carbon tax will significantly reduce the unit GDP energy consumption, reduce carbon dioxide emissions; heavy construction tax rebate policy will be implemented in central and eastern produce more significant impact area, GDP, employment and welfare will decrease, the smaller the impact the western region; implemented to reduce the proportion of heavy industry, tertiary industry and other policies, for the three regional economic development will have a more significant boost role, but the energy sector and heavy industry sectors will have significant losses; to develop CDM projects in West and Central will have more obvious energy saving effect. Chapter ?: China's regional low-carbon economic development priorities and policy recommendations. Determine the regional low-carbon economy in China principle, and on this basis set the goal of low-carbon economic development and the achievement of the path, the regional development of China's three major problems of low-carbon economy and focus of a breakthrough were analyzed. This chapter argues that the eastern region low-carbon economy is the development of major problems facing resource-based industries and the proportion of high-energy, irrational industrial structure, economic and social activities and the obvious contradiction between the resources and environment carrying capacity and low-carbon resource development potential is limited, its development should be focused optimize the industrial structure, enhance the independent innovation and breakthrough to resolve the bottleneck of resources. The central region of low-carbon economy is a major problem facing the development of the overall integrated needs to be improved, irrational industrial structure and industrial cluster development is not sufficient, the development focus is to improve the efficiency of natural resource development to promote rapid and sound economic development and industrial structure was further optimization breakthrough. Economic development in the western region of low-carbon economic development of the major problems facing the low level, the traditional sense of a strong, coordinated development of the region are weak, fragile ecological environment, the focus will be on the ecological environment, efficient use of resources and special industry breakthrough.Chapter ?: Conclusions and prospects. The main conclusions of the paper summarizes the presentation of papers the problem needs further research and future research directions.In summary, this study on the analysis of the low-carbon economic development in different regions, different policies in different regions to determine the policy effects has important theoretical and practical significance, low-carbon economy for the central government and local government policies response measures to provide a strategic resource.
