Study on the Relationship between Economic Growth and Carbon Emissions Based on Cointegration Theory

In the past ten years, there is an elevating tendency of Xi’an economy development and carbon emissions. Using co-integration analysis method and Eviews6.0 software we proved that there is co-integration relation and bi-directional causality between the Xi’an economy growth and carbon emissions. Then the authors analyzed the pulling effect and the efficiency from the role of the economic growth and industrial structure on carbon emissions by applying the error correction model. Based on the results, we proposed the operation mechanism and policy proposal. It provides theoretical and practical significance on Xi’an low carbon economy development.
