Abstract:

Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) illustrates the pattern in changes of the relationship between economic development and environmental degradation. The pattern in changes of environmental quality degrades at the initial stage and then improves with the growth of economy. This paper reviews the progress in this area in respect of empirical research, econometric model and decomposition analysis in China and other countries.With the development of EKC,〖JP2〗environmental proxies expand from environmental〖JP〗 pollutants to resource and ecology proxies and to environmental efficiency proxies, and the inverse Ushaped relationship is not the unique form,which does not fit into all 〖JP2〗environmental proxies.The econometric models used in EKC study are mainly reduced models.The method of emission decomposition analysis can quantify the contribution of each factor in the change of pollution emission, and has been used widely. Although there are great advances in EKC research, some aspects such as the threshold of ecological system, the spatial and temporal transmission of pollution, the multiformality of curve, data processing and econometric model, and environmental policy management still need to be further studied, among which data processing and econometric model are the key factors.

Key words: Environmental Kuznets Curve, environmental proxy, econometric model, decomposition analysis, data processing
