Research on the Dynamic Relationship of the Energy-Economy-Environment (3E) System-Based on an Empirical Analysis of China.

Abstract: Energy, economy and environment form a mutually-influenced circulatory system. This paper uses econometric theory, according to time series data of energy consumption, GDP and industrial sewage emission from 1983 to 2009 about China, to empirically analyze the dynamic relationship among them. The result shows that: there exist the longterm stable equilibrium relationships among energy consumption, economic growth and environment. The improving action of Energy consumption on economic growth is far less than on environmental pollution. When the system deviated from the equilibrium, the adjusting speed about industry waste gas emission and energy consumption is far lower than that of economy. This paper further reveals the interaction among energy, environment and economy. On this basis, in order to achieve coordinated growth of energy, economy and environment, the paper puts forward several policy suggestions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
