摘要: “环境库兹涅茨曲线”是环境经济学中的一个经典假说,主要考察经济增长与环境质量的关系。但是考虑社会资本对环境污染影响的研究在国内尚不多见。本文回顾了环境库兹涅茨曲线理论和国内对我国环境库兹涅茨曲线的研究文献,使用我国1995-2007年面板数据对引入社会资本的环境库兹涅茨曲线假说进行了实证检验。计量结果显示,在我国省际区域层面上,只有工业二氧化硫一种污染排放物的该假说成立,并呈现出N形特征。这表明社会资本是解释环境污染物排放量的重要原因之一。本文的政策含义是不能把落实“减排”工作的渠道局限在“要么市场,要么政府”之间,积极培育和充分利用社会资本是减少环境污染的新思路。

Abstract: "Environmental Kuznets Curve" is a classic hypothesis in environmental economics, but few researches consider the impact of the social capital on environment. This paper reviews the Environmental Kuznets Curve Theory and related literatures in China. We expand the EKC theoretical model by introducing social capital variables and test the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis using China’s 1995-2007 panel data. The results show that sulfur dioxide is the only kind of industrial emissions satisfying SEKC hypothesis and showing N-shaped features. It is illustrated that social capital is one of the important reasons of environmental emissions. Our conclusions are that we may make the "Emission Reduction" implemented through cultivating and exploiting social capital instead of only depending on the power of market and government.
