Measurement of Carbon Emission in the Manufacturing Segmented Industry of China---Giving Discussion of the Existence of EKC in the Manufacturing Industry
This paper measured the level of the carbon emission of the manufacturing sector in China, by the reference meth-od of the energy’s detailed classification. It is founded that the carbon emission of the manufacturing sector can be divided in three phases from 1991 to 2012. Based on the data of carbon emission measurement, an analysis about the Environment Kuznets Curve( EKC) in the manufacturing sector of our country is given to talk about its application problem. Result shows that an “inverted-U” EKC does not exist with either the use of “average-income” or of “average-output value”, and then the Stirpat model is used to analyze the problem, Yet, not only is the“inverted-U” EKC refused, but also the stirpat mod-el. It is believed that the finding that the EKC does not exist in the manufacturing sector can be explained by some previous explanations, the carbon emission reduction in manufacturing sector should be on the way positively rather than waiting for the change of the economic phase.
