Impacts of regional productivity growth, decoupling and pollution leakage
使用英国区域可计算一般均衡模型，研究区域经济增长与CO2排放的脱钩关系，以及污染是否跨越区域或国家边界，发现区域环境库兹涅茨曲线是否存在取决于增长来源和关系设定。
Impacts of regional productivity growth, decoupling and pollution leakage. Regional Studies. This paper examines the issues of decoupling regional economic growth and pollution and the extent to which pollution effects spillover regional/national borders. Specifically, a UK, regionally disaggregated, computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to investigate the relationship between economic growth and the level of CO2 emissions posited by the ‘environmental Kuznets curve’ (EKC) conjecture using production accounting principle (PAP) and consumption accounting principle (CAP) environmental accounting methods. The simulation results suggest that at the regional level the existence of an EKC relationship depends on the source of regional growth and the how this relationship is specified.
