摘要：This study analyzes the impact of economic structure and intensity on the level of air pollution. This is done by the estimation of Structural Equation Model with two latent variables describing the economic structure and the intensity of economic activity, which influence air pollution. It is further assumed that there are causal link with these two factors, one of them is influenced by international trade intensity, per capita income and the level of trade liberalization, the other is influenced by urban percentage and industry. The estimation results suggest that the impact of economic growth on air pollution intensity varies in the structure and the intensity of economic activity. The estimation results show that the structure effect which is 0.85 is higher than intensity which is 0.05 on the level of air pollution. Model with the better fit to the data, indices of goodness-of-fit are relatively satisfaction and meet the requirements. This results show that for many developing countries, urbanization and industrialization change economic structure-as a consequence-to increase air pollution. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
