In the process of economic and social development,energy plays an important role,and the role played can not be ignored.Energy shortages are the main problems facing countries at present,but the economic development of a country or region is inseparable from the consumption of energy,and the increase of energy consumption will cause the increase of carbon emissions,resulting in the destruction of the whole ecological environment.Therefore,utilizing energy rationally,realizing energy saving and emission reduction mission,reducing carbon emissions is crucial.Based on the existing theory,this paper studies the relationship between energy consumption,economic growth and carbon emission in Xinjiang via empirical analysis.The whole essay includes following five parts.The first part is the introduction.This paper introduces and explains the actual situation of the research and analysis of the problems,tasks,and related issues in different countries and regions.At the same time,it also discusses the core content of the research and analysis process.The second part discusses and analyzes the mechanism of economic development and energy consumption,and obtains the corresponding research and analysis conclusion,which enables the following analysis obtain some reference and guidance.The third part is the analysis of the current situation of energy consumption,carbon dioxide emission and economic growth.This section provides a theoretical analysis of energy consumption,economic growth and carbon emissions in Xinjiang from 1985 to 2014.The results show that: over time,energy consumption,carbon emissions and economic growth are growing in the same direction,and are gradually increasing.In the past period of time the local energy consumption elasticity coefficient has not reached 1,meanwhile,the efficiency of energy use has also improved;even though the energy consumption intensity has decreased,however it is always beyond the domestic average;although the energy consumption structure has been improved and optimized,dependence on coal is always strong.Although the intensity of carbon emissions gradually reduced,really achieving absolute emission reduction still needs to make more efforts.The fourth part explores the mechanism of actual cases between energy consumption,carbon emissions and economic growth.This part mainly includes the following three aspects: first,the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth.A multivariable production function model and time series model are established,and the results show that there is co-integration relationship between the total energy consumption,domestic gross production,capital stock and labor force in Xinjiang,energy consumption can promote economic growth,and the economic system has the reverse direction adjusting mechanism.Second,the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions: after establishing the environmental Kuznets curve,the relationship between per capita GDP and carbon emission per capita is analyzed in detail,and the results show that the former can promote the latter,which is the linear relationship,not the "Inverted U".Thirdly,the relationship between energy consumption,economic growth and CO2 emissions etc: in the framework of vector autoregressive model,the relationships among them are analyzed using pulse response function and variance decomposition method,and the results show that the economic growth rate and energy consumption intensity have a lasting positive effect on the other two variables respectively,the carbon intensity has a lasting positive impact on the energy consumption intensity,and a negative impact on the growth rate of the economy.The fifth part is the conclusion and recommendations.This part includes the conclusions drawn and the specific countermeasures.
