Abstract

Environmental degradation has attracted world’s attention. This study examines the impacts of industrial structure on carbon emissions in China by employing evidences of 283 cities from 2004 to 2011.Specially, taking the economic aggregation into account, the study aims at testing the relationships under different economic density areas. Results of STIRPAT models reveal that in areas with higher and high economic density, the secondary industry and tertiary industry exert much pressure on carbon emission; besides, the primary industry is negatively related with it. In the area with low economic density, it appears to be a transition that the effects of the secondary industry decline, the effects of the primary and tertiary industry raise. In the lower economic density area, the primary industry needs more attention.
