Empirical Study on Resource Consumption, City Size and Economic Growth in Guangxi Based on Demand Perspective

Abstract

基于需求视角,利用广西2002—2017年14个地级市面板数据对广西资源消耗、城市规模与经济增长之间的关系进行实证,研究发现:广西资源消耗与经济增长呈正相关关系,即广西存在"资源福音",但城市规模的扩大抑制了资源消耗。进一步考察广西资源消耗与经济增长、资源消耗与城市规模之间的关系,发现均呈倒"U"型关系。为驱动广西经济新增长,需要适当控制城市规模扩张、合理勘探与开发新资源并开展国际合作。Based on demand perspective, by using Guangxi’s 14 cities panel data in 2002-2017, this research elaborates the relationship between resource consumption, city size and economic growth. The study found that: the relationship between resource consumption and economic growth in Guangxi is positive under the demand perspective, which is called “resource blessing” in Guangxi, but the expansion of city size would hinder the resource consumption. After further empirical study on resource consumption and economic growth, resource consumption and city size, all result showed that there is an inverted u-shaped relationship. In order to achieve the new economic growth in Guangxi, it put forward some measures such as appropriately control of the city size expansion, rational exploration and development of new resources, and international cooperation.2013年国家社会科学基金项目“新形势下我国能源安全保障、环境保护与经济稳定增长的协同与政策优化研究”(13CJY044
