Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the impact of income
inequality and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission
through the moderating role of innovation in China at
national and regional levels. To test the hypothesised relationships,
this study took the data from 1995 to 2015 and employed
panel estimation. Findings of the whole analysis show that
income inequality and economic growth influence CO2 emission
in China. Moreover, technological innovation moderates the proposed
link. However, the findings at the regional level are mixed,
thus confirming the existence of regional differences. Policy implications
are also discussed.
