Abstract:
To evaluate the relationship between coal-related carbon emissions (CCE) and economic growth, this paper analyzed the decoupling relationship between CCE and economic growth from national and provincial perspectives during period 1997-2016 through Tapio Decoupling Index. Then, to recognize its spatial characteristics during 1997-2016, gravity model was adopted to study the geographical changes of CCE. Finally, to identify the changes of (CCE) in China and reveal its internal driving forces, this paper employs the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) decomposition analysis to decompose decoupling indicator into six effects including emission factors, energy intensity, fossil energy structure, energy consumption structure, activity, and population at national and provincial levels. The results reflect that (1) CCE of China rose by 168.37% from 1997 to 2016, and reached the peak of 7948.43 Mton in 2013. The center of gravity has shifted from (114.64 E, 34.70 N) to (113.48 E, 35.06 N). (2) The decoupling curve showed an inverted "U" shape. The economic growth of 18 provinces has achieved a strong decoupling from CCE by 2016. Only Xinjiang, Shanxi, and Shaanxi's economic growth has increased the dependence on CCE. (3) Activity and energy intensity effects were the dominant factors driving and curbing the increase of decoupling indicator respectively.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
