Abstract:
In order to clarify the relationship between economic geography factors and industrial pollution emissions in urban agglomeration, a 3D analysis framework proposed by the World Bank was used to analyze the relationship between density, distance, division and industrial pollution emissions. The results showed that the GDP per area (GPA) significantly affected the industrial pollution emissions; the elasticity coefficients of GPA and industrial pollution emissions (e.g., SO
2, wastewater, soot) were 0.027,2.080 and 1.014, respectively. Integrated transport distance (ITD) profoundly affected industrial wastewater and soot pollution emissions, but had no significant effect on the industrial SO
2 emissions; the elasticity coefficients were -1.638 and -0.625, respectively. However, psychological distance (PD) had no significant effect on the urban pollution emissions. Division on the industrial pollution emissions was different. Foreign direct investment (FDI) played an important role in industrial pollution emissions. The manufacturing specialization index (MSI) significantly impacted on industrial SO
2 and soot emissions. The ratio of imports and exports to GDP (IEG) had a significant impact on wastewater and soot emissions. GPA and FDI were positively related to industrial pollution emissions, and ITD, MSI and IEG were negatively related to industrial pollution emissions. However, PD had no significant relationship with industrial pollution emissions. In order to alleviate the problem of industrial pollution emissions, the economic development speed should be appropriately controlled, and the environmental standards for foreign investment should be improved. Moreover, we also optimized the division and cooperation status in the domestic and international market.
