“…Intuitively, this means environmental degradation (pollution) rises as a country goes through early stages of economic development, and this trend is reversed in the later stages of development as growth becomes more environmentally friendly. In the case of China, different studies estimating an EKC often generate different results depending upon type of pollutant used and how it is measured (Diao, Zeng, Tam, & Tam, 2009;Du, Wei, & Cai, 2012;Henri, Cees, & Zhou, 2004;Jalil & Mahmud, 2009;Liu, Heilig, Chen, & Heino, 2007;Shen, 2006;Song, Zheng, & Tong, 2008;Yang, Yang, & Sheng, 2011). While interesting, measuring the prevalence of industrial pollution in a highly comprehensive way is a challenge.…”

“…The waste gas emission in terms of levels is found to follow an inverted-U pattern, but waste gas emissions in per capita or per unit of output terms, as well as waste water discharge, do not. Liu et al [8] examined time series concentration data of various water pollutants in Shenzhen. They find that production-induced pollutants, as opposed to consumption-induced pollutants, support the EKC hypothesis.…”

We apply a two pronged approach to analyze the presence of Environmental Kuznets Curve, EKC, in three types of emissions in the People's Republic of China from 1994 to 2014: a structural breakpoint analysis and a model based test. We apply it to PM 2.5 , industrial waste and domestic water pollution time series, and find evidence of EKC in all three types of emissions that require appropriate policy.

“…Yafei Wang (2011) selects wastewater, solid waste and exhaust gas produced by the economic system to measure pollutant discharge. The main evaluation methods include the index analysis (Liu, Heilig, Chen & Heino, 2007;Styles, O'Brien & Jones, 2009). The principal component analysis (Chenhui Liu, Xinhong Lv, & Haiyan Fan, 2011), the factor analysis (Ritter, Regalado & Muñoz-Carpena, 2009), the hierarchy analysis (Wang, D., Zhong, X. H., Liu, S. Z., Liu, J. G., Wang, Z. Y.…”

This paper chooses pollutant discharge as the study object and utilizes a modified scatter degree comprehensive evaluation method to establish the pollutant discharge comprehensive evaluation index. Then, using the convergence test model and from the perspective of intensity and gross, this paper respectively studies the convergence of the pollutant discharge at the nationwide level and in the three major regions. The result shows that the pollutant discharge level of the middle region is the highest, whereas in the western one, it is the lowest; that of the eastern region is higher than the national average. The σ convergence, based on the Theil index, shows that only the middle region shows a feeble σ convergence tendency, whereas the other two ones show a different tendency. Besides, considering the differences of the per capita GDP, the industrial structure, the structure of energy consumption and pollution regulation, the β convergence shows that the two variables of all the regions are conditional β convergence, not absolute β convergence.
