How does urbanization affect energy consumption for central heating: Historical analysis and future prospects

Zhaohua Wang et al.

Summary: The rapid urbanization has increased the energy consumption for central heating in China. This study uses the LMDI method to analyze the impact of urbanization on energy consumption and explores different urbanization scenarios. The results show that demographic urbanization has the strongest effect and predicts a significant increase in future energy consumption for central heating.

Does economic growth stimulate energy consumption? The role of human capital and R&D expenditures in China

Muhammad Shahbaz et al.

Summary: The study finds that human capital has a negative impact on all types of energy consumption, there is a positive relationship between energy usage and economic growth, but a negative relationship between R&D expenditures and energy consumption. Additionally, there is a one-way causal effect of human capital on various forms of energy consumption.

Per capita renewable energy consumption in 116 countries: The effects of urbanization, industrialization, GDP, aging, and trade openness

Min Su et al.

Summary: This research investigates the impact of changes in social structure, economic structure, demographic structure, and trade structure on per capita renewable energy consumption. It finds a non-linear relationship between these structural changes and renewable energy consumption. Urbanization promotes consumption, industrialization inhibits growth but weakens as it crosses a threshold, population aging and trade openness contribute to growth and strengthen after crossing the threshold. These findings provide theoretical support for energy and population policy formulation.

How does vertical fiscal imbalance affect energy consumption in China?

Liangliang Liu et al.

Summary: This study empirically examines China's panel data at the province level from 1998 to 2018 and finds that vertical fiscal imbalance (VFI) significantly increases energy consumption, with regional heterogeneity. It also reveals that VFI indirectly affects energy consumption through industrial structure upgrading, and the positive influence of VFI on energy consumption is strengthened by the improvement in intergovernmental fiscal transfers.

Urban land expansion, fiscal decentralization and haze pollution: Evidence from 281 prefecture-level cities in China

Zhipeng Yu et al.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of urban land expansion in China on haze pollution, revealing the importance of urban land expansion for the quality of the urban environment. The results show that improving the intensity and structure of urban land expansion can reduce haze pollution, and these impacts vary across cities in terms of size, type, and location.

Does composite fiscal decentralization reduce trade-adjusted resource consumption through institutional governance, human capital, and infrastructure development?

Shuai Shao et al.

Summary: Improving resource efficiency and environmental quality is a key task for both advanced and emerging economies. Fiscal decentralization has both direct and indirect effects on resource consumption, with direct effects being positive and indirect effects through institutional quality and human capital development being negative (positive). The infrastructure growth channel of fiscal decentralization leads to increased resource consumption.

A dynamic model of fiscal decentralization and public debt accumulation

Si Guo et al.

Summary: This paper develops a dynamic model with two layers of governments to study the impact of fiscal decentralization on local and central government debt accumulation and spending. The model shows that fiscal decentralization leads to increased reliance on transfers by local governments and results in higher debt levels for both local and central governments.

Local fiscal pressure, policy distortion and energy efficiency: Micro-evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Wei Jiang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of local fiscal pressure on energy efficiency in Chinese manufacturing firms and finds that distorting energy prices to alleviate fiscal pressure reduces energy efficiency. Pollution compensation exacerbates this effect. The findings provide important policy implications for future fiscal system reforms and energy market reforms in China.

The effect of industrial structure adjustment on China's energy intensity: Evidence from linear and nonlinear analysis

Bingjiang Luan et al.

Summary: This study finds that industrial structure adjustment is an effective measure to reduce energy intensity in China. Linear analysis shows that an increase in the proportion of the tertiary industry and industrial structure optimization are associated with a decline in energy intensity. Nonlinear analysis indicates that changes in industrial structure optimization affect the relationships among industrial structure adjustment, technological progress, and energy intensity.
