Analysis of spatial equilibrium of environmental industry development based on the environmental protection input: A case study of the period between 2004 and 2011
Abstract:Environmental industry is an important part of China’s strategic emerging industries. In recent years, the environmental industry has been growing with the rate over 30% and become a new growth point of local economy. By extending the connotation of Gini coefficient, the concept of Gini coefficient of the environmental protection industry was introduced. In this paper, the Gini coefficients of China’s environmental industry in 2004 and 2011were calculated and the Industry Contribution Coefficient (ICC) is presented for assessing the equilibrium. The results, 0.35 in 2004 and 0.42 in 2011, showed that the Gini coefficient of China’s environmental industry increased in recent years, inferring that the regional difference of the development environmental industry is increasingly large and the industry distribution tends to be more centralized. The key regions and policies for the development of environmental industry were recommended based on the analysis of ICC and considering the environmental protection input and need of different regions.
