| Abstract: | Correctly handling the relationship between economic development and pollution emissions in the textile industry is an important basis for achieving green and sustainable economic development in the textile industry. This paper takes the textile industry as the research object, selects the textile industry micro data from 1998 to 2013, firstly uses the centre of gravity model to explore the spatial and temporal trajectory of the centre of gravity of the textile industry's economy and pollution emission; then uses the grey correlation method to measure the correlation between the textile industry and six sub-sectors in two dimensions of economic development and pollution emission; finally uses the centre of gravity coupling posture model to explore the coupling posture of the centre of gravity of the textile industry's economy and the centre of gravity of pollution emission The results show that: (1) from 1998 to 2013, the economic centre of gravity of the textile industry was always located within the Anhui provincial boundary; and the output value of the cotton, chemical fibre textile and dyeing and finishing industries had the greatest impact on the economic growth of the textile industry. (2) The centre of gravity of the textile industry's pollution emissions from 1998-2013 moved along Shanxi-Henan-Hubei-Shaanxi to the western region; the pollution emissions from the manufacture of textile manufactured goods and the cotton, chemical fibre textile and dyeing finishing industries were the main factors causing the pollution problems in the textile industry; (3) From 1998 to 2013, the coupling between the textile economy and the centre of gravity of pollution emissions showed a "W"-shaped trend change, and was influenced by the strategy of shifting the centre of gravity of the textile industry to the west. The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical suggestions for the green development of the textile industry economy by studying the relationship between the textile industry economy and the focus of pollution emissions. |
