摘要
To further analyze the internal driving mechanism of carbon emissions in the transportation industry, this paper takes the measurement data of Sichuan Province during 1995 to 2014 as an example. Then ASIF data structural principles and stepwise regression methods are used to identify the valid driving factors. Furthermore, the direct and indirect effect of each factor on carbon emissions' growth is obtained by path analysis. The result shows that economic intensity, transportation intensity, relative structure and energy consumption intensity are the primary factors affecting the carbon emissions there. Economic intensity is the dominant determiner of carbon emissions, and its direct pull on that is remarkable. The effects of transportation intensity and relative structure on carbon emissions are motivated strongly by economic strength, while energy intensity can apply directly to that. It can be confirmed that the transportation and energy consumption intensity improves at a certain extent in Sichuan Province with the promotion of its transportation industry, but it still not enough to offset the growth of carbon emissions which led by the economic strength steadily ascending.
