The Marketization Process,Environment Control And Study On The Relationship Between Carbon Productivity In China

The process of economic globalization brings not only the rapid growth of economy,but also brings the deterioration of the environment.Energy resource depletion,a sharp rise in sea level and the serious situation of global warming poses challenges to the current economic production activities.Rapid growth of carbon emissions situation led to cause enough attention to low carbon economy.As a developing country,China is not only to achieve the task of orderly steady economic growth,at the same time shoulder the responsibility of low carbon emissions.achieving both,is improving the carbon productivity and realizing low carbon economy development path is necessary.At first,this paper calculated carbon dioxide emissions and carbon productivity of 30 provinces in 1999-2014 and analyzed carbon productivity change trend of the three regions and the national carbon emissions.From carbon emission perspective,the central has the highest average carbon dioxide emissions.East is second and the the west is lowest.The three major regional carbon emissions trend show the stage characteristics.From the perspective of carbon productivity,high carbon productivity provinces concentrates in the eastern coastal cities,such as Guangdong,Jiangsu,Zhejiang while the western region of Qinghai,Inner Mongolia,Shanxi lagging behind carbon productivity levels.In the regional perspective,the average carbon productivity of eastern region is higher than the western region and the Middle.The western region has the lowest carbon productivity and three regional carbon productivity keeps a stable growth trend.This paper further uses econometric model empirical to analysis the marketization process,environmental regulation effects on carbon productivity.Frontier research focuses on the relationship between environmental regulation and carbon productivity,ignoring the market intermediary role in the media.The process of marketization can not only promote the economic growth directly,but also affect the carbon productivity through the implementation of the environmental regulation indirectly.Based on the provincial panel data from 1999 to 2014,an empirical analysis was made to ensure the influence of marketization degree and environmental regulation to the carbon productivity change with static panel model and system GMM Estimation.The results show that the improvement of the degree of the marketization can significantly promotes carbon productivity and there is an U relationship between environmental regulation and carbon productivity.We also find that marketization has its own mechanism to accelerate carbon productivity through environmental regulation.However,this positive effect must establish in the level of a corresponding threshold value.It is an effective way to improve the carbon productivity by increasing the reform of the market process and the market system.In addition,the energy consumption structure is still an important factor hindering the growth of carbon productivity.Developing new energy sources and improving energy efficiency must be paied high attention in consideration of the disadvantages of traditional energy consumption patterns.
