摘要

At present, along with China's booming economic development, environmental pollution is increasing. This paper first uses the entropy weight method to calculate the comprehensive indicators of environmental pollution, takes 30 provinces in China (except Tibet) as the research object and uses the provincial panel data covering the years 2000-2015, to explores the impact of capital expansion on environmental pollution under the condition of unbalanced economic development in China. The results show that the more serious the unbalanced growth of sectoral economy is, the more distorted China's capital expansion will be, and distorted capital expansion will further aggravate environmental pollution. Finally, based on the empirical research results of this paper, the policy recommendations for improving the environment are proposed from the perspective of capital expansion.
