摘要: In order to enrich the study of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) on pollution intensity, we analyze relationship between industrial intensity (pollution per GDP) and economic growth (GDP capita) using data 1993–2012 from 46 Chinese pilot cities. Our tracks seven types intensity: wastewater, COD, waste gas, SO2, soot, dust, solid emissions. The statistically follows two stages: begets a rapid initial decrease with development economy in first stage then reduction rates gradually stabilized second stage. Such curve is named IEKC (Intensity Curve) this paper. Power function model suitable for quantitatively describing hypothesis parameter elasticity coefficient sustainability (ECS) utilized urban assessment. We find that China cities have higher level relationships ...
