As China's energy intensity fluctuated in recent years, it is necessary to examine whether this fluctuations happened at a regional level. This paper conducts a decomposition model by using the structural decomposition analysis (SDA) method at a regional level. Then this model is employed to...

The fluctuations of China's energy intensity have attracted the attention of many scholars, but fewer studies consider the data quality of official input-output tables. This paper conducts a decomposition model by using the Divisia method based on the input-output tables. Because of the problems...

The existing oil import dependence index cannot exactly measure the economic cost or scales, and it is difficult to describe the economical aspect of oil security. To measure the foreign dependence of one country's economy and reflect its oil economic security, this paper defines the net oil...

In order to solve the contradictions that the static input-output table can't be used for dynamic analysis, this paper unified the 2002, 2005 and 2007 input-output tables into 25 industries, full energy intensity and embodied energy of China's export trade can be calculated quantitatively based...

China has been the world's largest producer and consumer of air conditioners, and more and more RACs would be owned by China's households along with the rapid economic development. Air Conditioner is also considered as one of the largest potential contributors to energy reduction among home...

China and the United States are the top two largest energy consumers, but they have totally different energy consumption patterns. Firstly, newly added embodied energy inventory (NAEEI) is created based on the concept of embodied energy. We combine the improved economic input-output approach...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has recently become a popular approach in measuring the energy and environment performance at the macro-economy level. A common limitation of several previous studies is that they ignored the undesirable outputs and did not consider the separation of inputs into...

The current cost-plus natural gas pricing mechanism makes the gas price too low, resulting in a lot of consumer-side subsidies, which makes natural gas over-consumed. This paper applies the price-gap approach and input-output analysis technology to quantitatively analyze both of the direct and...

In China, Rapid economic growth has stimulated fast urban expansion and rural household income and consumption expenditure. In current paper, an input-output method is used to determine the impact of China's increased urban and rural household consumption on carbon emissions. The results shows...

Employees constitute a large target group for energy conservation. Companies that want to reduce their energy consumption should promote their employees' participation. For successful energy saving in companies, employees should save energy on a continued basis, and develop the habit of energy...
