Abstract:

Economic growth and urbanization level in Xinjiang have been gradually increasing since 1978. Economic growth is the Granger causal reason for the comprehensive indexes of the urbanization level and the ecological environment pressure. The contribution rate of G to U is continuously decreasing, but that of G to P is continuously rising. Based on the long-term forecast, the explanatory power of G to P will be improved. We should continue to improve the energy resource utilization efficiency and environmental investment level, in order to reduce the ecological environment pressure during the process of economic growth.

Key words: economic growth, urbanization, ecological environment pressure, quantitative analysis, Xinjiang
