Abstract

According to the panel data of Shaanxi province from 2005 to 2018, the simultaneous equations were constructed through cubic polynomials to study the relationship between the atmospheric environment and economic growth in Shaanxi. The results show that the relationship between air pollution and GDP per capita in Shaanxi province presents an inverted n-shaped curve, which indicates that the economic growth in Shaanxi province causes the fluctuation of air quality, and reflects the relationship that the air pollution in Shaanxi improves first, then worsens and finally improves further with the economic growth. At the same time, the research results show that adjusting the industrial structure, increasing investment in environmental management, reducing the emission of atmospheric pollutants, and reducing energy consumption can promote the sustainable development of the Shaanxi economy and improve the quality of the atmospheric environment.

Highlights

  • The relationship between economic development and environmental quality began at the end of the 20th century

  • A 1% increase in soot emissions will lead to a 0.005% reduction in per capita production, a 1% increase in SO2 emissions will lead to a 0.002% reduction in per capita production, and a 1% increase in nitrogen oxide emission (NO) emissions will lead to a 0.0008% reduction in per capita production, that is, the emission of air pollutants will lead to a reduction in per capita output, affecting per capita income

  • From the perspective of the environmental equation, the calculation results of the estimated coefficients of the three atmospheric environmental pollution indicators selected in this paper show that: β1 the results for -1.467

Summary

The introduction

China implements the strategy of developing the western region to promote the coordinated development of the regions in 2000. General secretary Xi Jinping has issued the "One Belt And One Road" initiative in 2013. Shaanxi plays the role of bridgehead in western development and is the core area of "One Belt And One Road", which is the important fulcrum of the Eurasian land bridge. High and frequent air pollution is a threat to people's health, Stable and rapid economic development affects people's life. Because of this, based on the time-series data from 2005 to 2018 and panel data from 10 cities and 1 demonstration area in Shaanxi, this paper uses empirical analysis to study the relationship between economic growth and the atmospheric environment in Shaanxi, to provide a decision-making basis for sustainable economic development and atmospheric environment improvement
