Abstract:Accurately grasping the long-term equilibrium relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth is of great importance to scientifically construct carbon emissions reduction policy system both in theory and practice. This paper studies the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth by using co-Integration theory,Error Correction Model,Granger causality test and economic growth data and carbon emission data in Wuhan between 1994 and 2009. The result shows that in the long term,there exists equilibrium relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth,when economic growth increases by 1%,carbon emissions will increase by 0.407%,While in the short term,there exists dynamic adjustment mechanism between carbon emissions and economic growth,when carbon emissions deviate from long-term equilibrium,it will adjust to equilibrium with 52.93% strength. Granger causality test shows that in general there exists mutual causal relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth.
