Abstract

As many economic activities have a spatial spillover effect on carbon emissions, this paper selects the data of various provinces and cities from 2003 to 2017 to construct a spatial vector autoregressive model to analyze and study the effects of economic growth and technological innovation on carbon emissions from a spatial perspective. The results of the study found that carbon emissions, economic growth, and technological innovation generally showed positive response characteristics after being impacted by each other in time, but they weakened over time. In space, carbon emissions will also increase with geographic distance, and the response received will continue to weaken.

Highlights

  • Global warming is the biggest environmental problem faced by the people of the world at present, and it is a great challenge for all mankind

  • From the existing research of the above scholars, it can be found that the current research on the impact of carbon emission on environmental quality mainly focuses on the impact of economic growth or technological innovation on a single explanatory variable, and the research is not much under the common influence of the two; at the same time, there is a lack of impact analysis on the comprehensive effects of time and space

  • By observing the coefficients of explanatory variables, it is found that the current carbon emissions of each region are positively affected by the past carbon emissions, GDP growth rate and R & D, among which R & D has the greatest impact; at the same time, it is affected by the carbon emissions, GDP growth rate and R & D of other regions in the past, The growth rate of GDP has a positive impact on carbon emissions, while R & D has a negative impact

Summary

Introduction

Global warming is the biggest environmental problem faced by the people of the world at present, and it is a great challenge for all mankind. It is found that the main cause of global warming is a large amount of CO2 gas emitted from people's production activities. For countries with large carbon emissions, such as China, the economic growth has attracted worldwide attention, and the growth rate has been maintained at a high speed of more than 7% in the past 20 years. China has made many reforms, which have curbed carbon emissions. It is very important to study the influence factors of carbon emissions, economic growth and technological progress, and to control the amount of carbon emissions and get environmental protection
