Abstract

China's rapid economic growth has brought many environmental problems, and the rapid growth of carbon emission attracts more and more people's attention, so the research on the relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emission is increasingly important. Based on the threshold panel model developed by Hansen, this paper chooses the provincial panel data from 1995 to 2014 and analyzes the influence of energy intensity, environmental regulation and the introduction of foreign capital on the relationship between economic growth and carbon emission. The results show that there is a significant nonlinear relationship between them, there is double threshold of energy intensity, single threshold of environmental regulation, and there is no threshold for foreign capital introduction. Through the results of the factors' threshold effect, then we give some reasonable suggestions.
