Theoretical Study on Pollution Emission Structure in Economic Development——From New Structural Economics Perspective
This paper summarizes the new characteristics and facts of pollution emission by combing various air pollutant emission data of China from 1960 to 2021 and the United States from 1940 to 2022,and proposes a new concept and theory of pollution emission structure based on the perspective of"One central task and two basic points"of new structural economics.The theoretical research finds that:(1)The factor endowment of an economy and its structure internally determine the optimal production structure with comparative advantages,and the optimal production structure internally determines the economic growth characteristics and pollution emission characteristics of an economy,and then the relationship be-tween economic growth and environmental pollution.(2)With the change of factor endowment structure,pollution emissions in economic development show a change law of first increase and then decrease,sup-porting the environmental Kuznets curve.(3)With the change of the factor endowment structure of the economy,the pollution emission structure in the economic development will also undergo endogenous change,and the specific change trajectory of pollution emission in the economic development depends on the structural characteristics of pollution emission in the industrial system and technological system of the economy.From the perspective of pollution emission structure,this paper understands that reducing pollu-tion and carbon emission has important policy and practical significance,and is conducive to telling China's stories well.
