Abstract

China's carbon peak commitment is a hard constraint on China's carbon emission. We can get enlightenment of carbon peak from the research on carbon emission EKC. This paper tests the EKC hypothesis of China's carbon emissions, and empirically analyzes the role of capital deepening and technological progress in the formation of China's carbon emissions EKC using data envelopment model with variable return to scale. The results show that there exits carbon emission EKC in the whole country. China's carbon emission EKC is the result of the joint action of capital deepening and technological progress. Carbon emission, which is mainly affected by technological progress, is also found in the eastern region of China. There is no carbon emission EKC in the central and western regions. China's carbon emission EKC is dominated by the carbon emission EKC in the eastern region. In the western region of China, capital deepening and technological progress affect carbon emission in an inverted U shape. Capital deepening and technological progress have a complex impact on carbon emissions in the central region. The risk of carbon emissions in the central region to China's carbon peak deserves high attention.
