Research on Influence Factors of Carbon Emission Based on STIRPAT Model in Jilin Province

A method was used to assess carbon emission to calculate the total carbon emission in Jilin Province in addition to describing. IPAT model and STIRPAT model were combined to confirm the main influence factors that affected carbon emission from three aspects, which were wealth per capita, population and social and technological progress. Moreover, the carbon emission influence factors were verified and analyzed based on ridge regression model. According to above analysis, the final conclusion is that population, wealth per capita and social and technological progress affect carbon emission in Jilin. Population had a greater influence while effect by wealth per capita was relatively lesser.
