Technical progress, structure change, and carbon dioxide emissions of industry

Abstract

Abstract: The nonparametric Malmqusit index is applied to measure total factor productivity of industry from the year of 1995 to 2008, then the influential effect among technical progress, industrial restructure, and carbon dioxide emissions is discussed based on a multiplicative interaction model. The results show that technological progress is able to restrain industrial emissions of carbon dioxide. Industrial restructure could promote carbon dioxide emissions. However, technological progress and industrial restructure play the different roles in different regions. Technical progress in eastern part of China has the most significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions restriction. Industrial restructure in central and western regions of China has the most impact on their carbon dioxide emissions.

Key words: technical progress, industrial structure change, industry, carbon dioxide emission
