Abstract

Social Problems and Impacts: Nowadays, the economy is burgeoning around the globe. However, simultaneously, air pollution still remains pervasive on a global scale, exerting negative impact on human health, among which Carbon dioxide is in great proportion. As factories’ constant output will lead to growing carbon emissions, air pollution is becoming increasingly serious. In this study, we will focus on the relationship between the change in carbon emissions and the output in mining industry, to see that whether carbon reduction policy will affect economy, and whether incentive effect will happen. Research question: How does the change in carbon emissions affects the output of mining industry? Will the “incentive effect” happen? (Will carbon reduction policy boosts industrial transformation?) Research hypothesis: 1. An increase in CO2 emissions will promote the development of the mining industry. 2. Incentive effect will happen. Methods: Research and data-set analysis; OLS regression Model with Quantile-Quantile plots Key findings and results:1. Increase in CO2 emissions will promote the development of the mining industry. 2. Incentive effect might happen.
