Abstract

This study aims to analysis the influence of economic growth (EG) and energy consumption (EC) on sulfur dioxide emissions (SE) in China. Accordingly, this study explores the link between EG, EC, and SE for 30 provinces in China over the span of 2000–2019. This study also analyzes cross-sectional dependence tests, panel unit root tests, Westerlund panel cointegration tests, Dumitrescu-Hurlin (D-H) causality tests. According to the test results, there is an inverted U-shaped association between EG and SE, and the assumption of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is verified. The signs of EG and EC in the fixed effect (FE) and random effect (RE) methods are in line with those in the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimators. Moreover, the results verified that EC can obviously positive impact the SE. To reduce SE in China, government and policymakers can improve air quality by developing cleaner energy sources and improving energy efficiency. This requires the comprehensive use of policies, regulations, economic incentives, and public participation to promote sustainable development.

基于环境库兹涅茨曲线假说探讨中国经济增长和能源消耗对二氧化硫排放的影响

本研究旨在分析中国经济增长（EG）和能源消耗（EC）对二氧化硫排放（SE）的影响。因此，本研究探讨了 2000-2019 年间中国 30 个省份的经济增长、能源消耗和二氧化硫排放之间的联系。本研究还分析了截面依存检验、面板单位根检验、Westerlund 面板协整检验、Dumitrescu-Hurlin（D-H）因果检验。检验结果表明，EG 与 SE 之间存在倒 U 型关联，验证了环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）假设。在固定效应（FE）和随机效应（RE）方法中，EG 和 EC 的符号与 DOLS、FMOLS 和 ARDL 估计中的符号一致。此外，结果还验证了 EC 对 SE 有明显的正向影响。为了降低中国的 SE，政府和政策制定者可以通过发展清洁能源和提高能源效率来改善空气质量。这需要综合运用政策、法规、经济激励和公众参与等手段，促进可持续发展。
