经济增长、人类发展与地区环境质量差异

Economic Growth,Human Development and Regional Environment Quality Difference

基于经济增长和人类发展对环境质量的影响,在环境库兹涅茨曲线假说的基础上,对中国29个省1995～2010年经济增长与环境污染指标之间的关系进行研究,应用改进的人类发展指数（MHDI）测度了各地区的人类发展情况,并且实证研究了期间人类发展与地区环境污染的关系.研究结果表明各地区环境污染与经济增长之间并不一定呈现倒U型关系,MHDI的增加促进了相应地区环境污染的减少,在工业化程度较高的地区,MHDI的增加更能降低环境污染水平.

The economic growth and human development have impact on environmental quality, this paper analyzes the rela- tionship between economic growth and environmental pollution which is based on the hypothesis of EKC in Chinese 29 prov- inces from 1995 to 2010, applies the modified human development index （MHDI） to measure the regional human develop- ment situation, and then gives an empirical research on the relationship between human development and the environmental pollution. The results show that the reverse U relationship does not necessarily present between environmental pollution and economic growth, the increase of the MHDI can promote the corresponding regional environment pollution reduction, and in the region or high degree of industrialization, the increase of MHDI is more likely to reduce the environmental pollution level.
