China has achieved rapid economic growth since the market-oriented
reform in 1978 and became the second largest economy in the world
in 2010. However, the growth model in China is still extensive in
nature and may be characterized with high energy consumption and
heavy environmental pollutions etc. In fact, China has successively
become the largest carbon emitter since 2007 and the largest energy
consumer since 2009 in the world. This book endeavors to analyze
whether such energy driven and environment restricted economic
growth can be sustainable in China in the long run. The book
describes the basic situations of energy consumption and
environmental pollution in China from the dimensions of industries,
regions and energy-types. It also introduces the evolution of
energy and environmental policies implemented in China. In
particular, this book makes use of the environmental activity
analysis model to assess the sustainable transformation of economic
model in Chinese industries and regions. This model captures the
negative externalities of pollutants and estimates the
environmental total factor productivity accurately. The
possibilities of win-win development and double dividend are also
forecasted. This book proposes new methods to measure the
environmental total factor productivity, evaluate the process of
low carbon transformation, quantify the structural bonus, estimate
the abating cost and forecast the win-win development and so on.
Researchers may find these methodologies useful for measuring other
pollutants and for analysis in other countries.
