China has basically achieved ubiquity of electricity access in rural areas during the latest three decades. However, solid fuels are still widely used in the rural areas, which is currently the main issue impinging upon energy poverty in China. There about 490 million rural residents in China...

Since the reform and opening up in 1978, China's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and foreign trade have grown rapidly. At the same time, China's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions surged and China has become the world's biggest CO2 emitter. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the...

In recent years, the surge in China's CO2 emissions has caused increasing international concern. In this paper, we investigate whether and when the turning point in China's CO2 emissions would occur. A simple yet powerful neoclassical Green Solow Model (GSM) is utilized herein as the main...

To curb CO2 emissions, the Chinese government has announced ambitious goals to reduce the CO2 intensity of GDP, and the total target has been allocated to all Chinese provinces during the twelfth "Five-year Plan" period (2011-2015). Although setting the target allocation plan is an efficient way...

The residential sector is the second largest consumer in China with great room for energy consumption growth, as well as the related carbon emissions. Thus, how to reduce the growth rate of carbon emissions is crucial for realizing the target of energy conservation and emission mitigation in the...

In this paper, the consumer lifestyle approach is applied to analyze the impact of consumption by urban and rural households on energy use and CO2 emissions for different regions and income levels in China. Grey Model is used to compare the relationship between energy consumption, consumption...

This paper introduces the China Energy & Environmental Policy Analysis (CEEPA) system. The core of CEEPA is a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model, in which the interactions among different agents in the macroeconomic system of China are described. The specific characteristics...

With the rapid growth of the carbon market, carbon price fluctuations are increasingly important for market participants. Carbon market risk directly affects the investor confidence and emission reduction results. In the present study, extreme value theory (EVT) is used to analyze risk exposure...

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...

This paper examines carbon price volatility using data from the European Union Emission Trading Scheme from a nonlinear dynamics point of view. First, we use a random walk model, including serial correlation and variance ratio tests, to determine whether carbon price history information is fully...
