Abstract:During the long run of economic development in China, the unidirectional Granger causality runs from GDP to carbons emissions. This research explored the linear regression relationship between the GDP and the total CO2 emissions from energy consumption during the process of production by using statistical data from 2005 to 2007 in the 30 provinces of China. We find that the significant linear regression relationship exists between the total GDP and the total carbon emissions as well as the GDPs of secondary and third industries and the total carbon emissions. There is no linear regression relationship between the GDP of primary industry and the total carbon emissions. The linear equation using the GDPs of secondary and third industries as dependent variables can better calculate the total carbon emissions than other equations built in this research.
