Abstract The paper concentrated on a Jiangsu Province context and attempted to explicitly investigate the impacts of economic growth and urbanization on sulfur dioxide emissions through examination on the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve. Within the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology framework, this was first study to simultaneously explore the income/urbanization and sulfur dioxide emission nexus, using panel data together with semi-parametric panel fixed effects regression. The dataset was referred to a city-level panel of Jiangsu Province spanning the period 1991~2013. With this information, the study found evidence in support of an inverted U-shaped curve relationship between economic growth and sulfur dioxide emissions, but little evidence supporting a similar inference for urbanization and those emissions. Existence of the income-sulfur dioxide emission environmental Kuznets curve implied that the economic growth vs. sulfur dioxide emissions dilemma can be resolved while income continues to increase. Also, these findings contributed to advancing the emerging literature on the development-pollution nexus.

Key words： economic growth urbanization sulfur dioxide emissions environmental Kuznets curve semi-parametric panel fixed effects model
