Abstract

This paper researches the influence factors of carbon emissions from the perspective of the China’s urbanization. Firstly, based on the STIRPAT model, the paper builds a relational model of carbon emissions and urbanization. And then it uses the China’s annual time series of urbanization, per capita GDP, energy intensity and carbon emissions from 1990 to 2011, to study the long-term equilibrium relationship between China's carbon emissions and urbanization level by Cointegration test and Granger-causality test. Finally, according to the analysis results, this paper gives some conclusions and policy advices.
