摘要：
Rapid economic growth in China is largely dependent on coal consumption, so the scarcity of coal represents a major challenge for sustainable development in the country. A model predicting the drag effect of coal consumption on economic growth in China would be useful for decision-making. In this paper, we apply Romer's growth drag theory and estimate the drag effect of coal consumption on economic growth using a Johansen cointegration test, partial least squares regression, and a drag equation. The results show that the growth drag caused by coal consumption is 0.0252. This means that regardless of other factors, the economic growth rate will be 6.34% in 2020 due to the constraints of coal consumption. We also present suggestions for improving the efficiency and controlling the scale of coal usage during economic development. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
