Abstract

Environmental issues have become increasingly prominent in China. Studying on the relationship between carbon emissions and energy consumption can help us to realize the target of reducing carbon emissions in 2020. The article studies the dynamic relationship between carbon emissions and energy consumption. Using regression model initially judges the linear relationship between carbon emissions and energy consumption. Then the elasticity coefficient between carbon emissions and energy consumption is constructed. Using multivariate stochastic volatility model to study the dynamic relationship between carbon emissions and energy consumption. Using the regression model to investigate the prediction ability for the correlation coefficient. The result show that, there is a strong correlation between carbon emissions and energy consumption, and the time-varying correlation coefficient has a certain predictive ability on carbon emissions--energy consumption elasticity coefficient.
