Study on the Relationship between the Energy Consumption and Economic System of Jiangsu Province Base on Grey Correlation Analysis

摘要

This paper applies the grey correlation analysis to measure the grey correlation degree between the energy consumption and the economic system from 2000 to 2007. The results show that the fixed asset investment of the economic system is the major factor which results in the rapid growth of the energy consumption; the grey correlation degree between coal consumption and economic system is larger than the degree between the crude oil or natural gas and economic system, and it indicates that the economic development of Jiangsu Province is still in an extensive growth mode; the grey correlation between natural gas consumption and economic system is smaller, but it is an important guarantee for the rapid economic growth of Jiangsu Province.
