Empirical Research Of The Effects Between Industry Spatial Distribution And CO₂ Emissions

Since 2007,China has become the biggest country of CO₂ emissions.Besides,China is also the biggest developing country in the world.As to China,how to cope with economic growth and CO₂ emissions is an important and meaningful subject.On the basis of a large number of related research,this paper has combed the relationship between industrial structure and CO₂ emissions,spatial distribution of the three industry and CO₂ emissions,spatial distribution of manufacturing and CO₂ emissions.What’s more,this paper has carried out an empirical study between them.Firstly,this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between the industrial structure and CO₂emissions with panel data of 29 provinces from 1995-2014,then tests the provincial differences between the spatial distribution of industrial structure and CO₂ emissions with Poolability Test.Thirdly,this paper divides manufacturing industry further,and respectively tests the effects of the labor-intensive or capital-intensive or technology-intensive manufacturing industry,more detailed industries and CO₂ emissions.Finally,this paper carries out an idealized simulation with the numerical simulation model to examine whether optimizing industrial structure or balancing the distribution of industrial structure can reduce CO₂ emissions.Specifically,main conclusions are as follows:1)No matter primary industry or secondary industry,they will increase CO₂ emissions,especially the secondary industry.2)The spatial distribution of industrial structure has a significant effect to CO₂emissions.And the effects of provinces are different.3)The relationship between the spatial distribution of manufacturing industry and CO₂ emissions is positive.4)Nowadays,optimizing industrial structure or balancing the distribution of industrial structure can effectively reduce CO₂ emissions.
