摘 要: | This paper empirically examines Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) with time series data for Beijing from 1985 to 1999. The results lead to two main conclusions: the environmental policy of Beijing and China governments has made the turning point of EKC come early, at around 3000-50005; and the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation takes on an inverted-U, but different regions may have different turning points, different time-span for realizing the turning point of EKC, and different slopes for the rising-declining pattern.
