Abstract

Based on environmental Kuznets curves, factors influencing development of regional low-carbon economy could be concluded as: scale effect, technology effect and structure effect of economic growth. Scale effect of economic growth has negative influence on environmental quality while technology effect and structure effect of economic growth effectively improve environmental quality. It has been found in measurement and calculation of the index “Elasticity Coefficient of Carbon Emission Ratio” the development paradox of whether to speed up scale effect of economic growth first or to accomplish the goal of energy-saving and emission-reduction first in backward areas in Guangdong. The treatment measures that help achieve both goals are to construct the market-based strategy “Orderly Industry Transfer” and adopt the differential measure “The Government Providing Macroscopic Policy Guidance” at the same time, so as to change the division of labor and layout of inter-regional industrial structure and improve influence of structure effect and scale effect on regional carbon reduction potential.
