Abstract
Urbanization has a significant impact on environmental pollution, but the relationship between urbanization and environmental pollution is complex. This paper separately discusses the population urbanization and land urbanization relationship of air pollution, and the impact of urbanization level and land intensive utilization on air pollution are used for empirical analysis. The panel data of 35 provincial capitals and sub provincial cities in China are selected from 2003 to 2015, and index system is constructed to evaluate the level of urbanization, land urbanization and land intensive use. After testing the Heteroscedasticity between panels, Autocorrelation within groups and contemporaneous correlation across panels of the panel data, an econometric model is established and a comprehensive feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) method is chosen to estimate the consistent and valid results which show the effects of urbanization, land urbanization and land intensive utilization on air pollution. This paper puts forward the related questions and policy recommendations.
