Abstract

The present study employs fixed-effect models to examine the complex and dynamic relationship between economic growth and environmental awareness. The empirical analysis reveals a discernible negative correlation between economic growth and environmental awareness, indicating a potential trade-off between economic development and environmental sustainability. This finding aligns with the theoretical underpinnings of the environmental Kuznets curve. Moreover, consistent patterns in the impact of economic growth on environmental awareness are identified across different platforms. Additionally, regional heterogeneity is observed in the influence of economic growth on environmental awareness. These findings underscore the necessity for nuanced policymaking tailored to the specific regional contexts and stages of economic development. This study advocates for strategies that strike a balance between fostering economic growth and promoting environmental awareness, thereby contributing to the scholarly discourse on sustainable economic development.

繁荣与保护之间：经济发展与环境意识之间相互作用的实证分析

本研究采用固定效应模型来研究经济增长与环境意识之间复杂的动态关系。实证分析表明，经济增长与环境意识之间存在明显的负相关关系，表明经济发展与环境可持续性之间可能存在权衡。这一发现与环境库兹涅茨曲线的理论基础相吻合。此外，在不同的平台上，经济增长对环境意识的影响模式也是一致的。此外，在经济增长对环境意识的影响方面还发现了地区差异。这些发现突出表明，有必要根据具体的地区背景和经济发展阶段制定细致入微的政策。本研究倡导在促进经济增长和提高环境意识之间达成平衡的战略，从而为有关可持续经济发展的学术讨论做出贡献。
