Abstract

Using panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model, we study the nonlinear effects of provincial economic growth on environmental pollution in China. The empirical research shows that the relationship between provincial economic growth and environmental pollution in China exists nonlinear smooth transition mechanism; provincial economic growth has an asymmetric effect on environmental pollution, which means that it has an negative (positive) effect when provincial GDP is less than (higher than) 2.85 trillion Yuan; the optimal provincial GDP interval is [2.20, 3.63] trillion Yuan, where the marginal effect is negative.
