Abstract: In recent years, China's economy has developed rapidly, but the relationship between environmental protection and sustainable economic development has attracted increasing attention. Based on macro data, this study uses principal component analysis method, selects Beijing economic and environmental quality data, uses regression model to fit EKC curve, and describes the causal relationship between environmental quality and economic sustainable development through regression analysis. The experimental results show that the relationship between economy and environment in Beijing presents an “inverted N-shaped curve”, which is not suitable for the traditional Kuznets “inverted U-shaped” curve. This study is of great practical significance to the coordinated development of regional environment and economy. This study can promote the understanding and exchange of related technologies and knowledge theories between academic circles and environmental, economic and other organizations, thus completing the transfer and sharing of knowledge.
