Shocks in agricultural productivity and CO2 emissions: new environmental challenges for China in the green economy

Guangzhu Zhou et al.

Summary: This research examines the role of China's large agriculture sector in CO2 emissions. The findings suggest that livestock production can help reduce CO2 emissions in both the short and long run. However, an increase in crop production deteriorates environmental quality in the short run and has no significant impact on CO2 emissions in the long run.

On the asymmetric effects of financial deepening on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption: insights from China

Wang Lei et al.

Summary: The study finds that financial deepening has asymmetric effects on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in China, with positive shocks having a significant increasing effect on renewable energy consumption and inverse impact on non-renewable energy consumption. Thus, policies aimed at promoting financial deepening in China must be persistent and sustainable to foster renewable energy consumption.
