　　英文摘要：AbstractThis study investigates the relationship among CO2 emissions, biomass energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization for a panel of 13 Asian developing countries. The panel cointegration tests suggest that there is a long-run equilibrium relationship among CO2 emissions, biomass energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization. The findings from the FMOLS estimation indicate that overall biomass energy consumption cannot reduce CO2 emissions. The results of panel causality tests show that there is a short-run unidirectional causality running from GDP to biomass energy consumption and a short-run one-way causality running from GDP and urbanization to CO2emissions, respectively. As for the long-run relationship, the findings indicate that there is unidirectional causality running from CO2 emissions, biomass energy consumption and urbanization to GDP, respectively, implying that real GDP could play a key role in the adjustment process as the system departs from long-run equilibrium.

　　中文摘要：摘要本研究以13个亚洲发展中国家为研究对象，考察了中国生物质能源排放、生物质能消费、经济增长与城市化的关系。面板协整检验表明，CO2排放、生物质能消费、经济增长与城市化之间存在长期均衡关系。fmos估算结果表明，生物质能的总能耗不能降低COz的排放。面板因果检验结果表明，GDP与生物质能消费之间存在短期单向因果关系，GDP与城镇化与COz排放之间存在短期单向因果关系。从长期关系来看，碳排放、生物质能消耗和城市化与GDP之间存在单向因果关系，表明当系统偏离长期均衡时，rea GDP在调节过程中发挥着关键作用。
