中部地区经济增长与环境质量的脱钩关系分析

Analysis of Decoupling Relationship between Economic Growth and Environmental Quality in the Middle Region of China

近年来,脱钩理论在评价经济增长与环境质量两者关系中得到了广泛应用。文章运用脱钩理论将生态足迹(EF)作为环境指标,测算了2000—2012年中部地区六个省份的EF,并对其环境压力与经济增长的脱钩程度进行了综合分析。结果显示,在该研究期内,中部地区EF总体增长,环境资源消耗不断加剧;2000—2006年以扩张负脱钩为主,2006年以后主要表现为增长连结与弱脱钩;多数省份表现为扩张负脱钩状态。总体来看,中部地区经济增长的资源环境代价有所缓解。

In recent years,decoupling theory has been widely applied in the assessment of relationship be -tween economic growth and environmental quality .Using ecological footprint as environment indicator , this paper calculates ecological footprint of six provinces in middle region and comprehensively analyzes decou-pling degrees between environmental pressure and economic growth in 2000-2012 .The results show that EF increases on the whole in examined periods , consumption of environment resource continually aggravates;de-coupling state is mainly expansion negative decoupling in 2000-2006 as well as growing links and weak de-coupling after 2006;expansion negative decoupling appear in the majority provinces .Resources and environ-ment cost of economic growth in the middle region arises relief on the whole .
