Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of energy intensity, green technologies, environmentally friendly exports, and robotization on energy transition in China during the period 2010q1-2019q4. The Energy Transition Index (ETI), which is used as the dependent variable, includes renewable energy components such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biofuel, making the study a direct contribution to the clean energy literature. In the study, the Carrion-i-Silvestre unit root test and Maki cointegration test were preferred among the econometric tests that take structural breaks into account. DOLS, FMOLS, and CCR estimators were used as long-term estimators. Kernel-Based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) method and Newey-West Standard Error Regression were used as robustness tests. According to the findings, It was determined that robotization has a positive effect on energy transition. In addition to this finding, it was observed that energy intensity has a negative effect on energy transition, while green technologies and environmentally friendly exports have a positive effect. Another finding is that there have been disruptions in the energy transition since 2015. The findings of the study include policy recommendations for the impact of robotization, green technologies, and environmentally friendly exports on energy transition in China.

中国机器人转型与能源转型：创新新时代

本研究旨在探讨2010 -2019年第四季度能源强度、绿色技术、环境友好型出口和机器人化对中国能源转型的影响。能源转型指数（ETI）作为因变量，包括太阳能、风能、水电和生物燃料等可再生能源成分，使该研究成为对清洁能源文献的直接贡献。在本研究中，考虑结构断裂的计量经济学检验中，Carrion-i-Silvestre单位根检验和Maki协整检验是首选。使用DOLS、FMOLS和CCR估计值作为长期估计值。采用核基正则化最小二乘（KRLS）方法和newy - west标准误差回归进行稳健性检验。根据研究结果，确定机器人化对能源转换有积极影响。此外，研究还发现，能源强度对能源转型有负面影响，而绿色技术和环境友好型出口对能源转型有积极影响。另一个发现是，自2015年以来，能源转型出现了中断。研究结果包括针对机器人化、绿色技术和环境友好型出口对中国能源转型影响的政策建议。
