Industrialisation is a significant part of any country's economic development. This study discusses the relationship between industrialisation and carbon dioxide emissions for Asian economies. The industrialisation has a major impact on carbon emissions, but its relationship with the environment differs in various regions of Asia. The empirical results are obtained by models of panel regression, which divide a balanced panel dataset of 46 countries into five groups depending on their subregions over the period 1991–2017. The tests of panel cointegration estimation found a majority of the cointegrated variables and verified the long‐run relationship between the variables. The long‐run coefficients are estimated using a fully modified ordinary least‐squares (FMOLS) method, and results conclude that industrialisation has a positive impact on the carbon dioxide emissions in the long run. These findings reveal that various industrialisation development strategies should be pursued in a bid to reduce emissions, depending on the levels of economic growth. Based on the findings, some policy suggestions are proposed for Asian economies.

亚洲经济体的环境污染：工业化重要吗？

工业化是任何国家经济发展的重要组成部分。这项研究讨论了亚洲经济体工业化与二氧化碳排放之间的关系。工业化对碳排放有重大影响，但在亚洲各个地区，其与环境的关系有所不同。实证结果是通过面板回归模型获得的，该模型将1991-2017年期间46个国家的平衡面板数据集根据其子区域分为五个组。面板协整估计的测试发现了大部分协整变量，并验证了变量之间的长期关系。长期系数是使用完全修改的普通最小二乘（FMOLS）方法估算的，结果表明，从长远来看，工业化将对二氧化碳排放产生积极影响。这些发现表明，应根据经济增长水平采取各种工业化发展战略，以减少排放。根据调查结果，为亚洲经济体提出了一些政策建议。
