Abstract
Using panel data from 30 provinces in China from 1995 to 2017, this study explores the impact of natural resource rent, transportation infrastructure, innovation, financial development, green investment and energy investment on carbon emission and its role in achieving the sustainable development goals. In order to obtain long-term and short-term estimates, the auto-regression distribution lag model (ARDL) is used in this study. The results confirm that natural resource rent, transportation infrastructure, innovation, energy investment and carbon emission are significantly positively correlated in long-term and short-term. Financial development and carbon emission are not significant in short term, but in the long term, financial development will contribute to the rise of carbon emissions. Green investment will increase short-run carbon emissions, whereas it really can control carbon emissions, which is different from other studies. This research proposes to improve the level of innovation and reduce carbon emission in other fields through technological innovation, increase green investment and renewable energy investment and combine with financial development to invest more funds in low carbon environmental production industries and to build an environment friendly system.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict. The journal encourages dialogue between the social sciences as energy demand and supply are observed and analysed with reference to politics of policy-making and implementation. The rapidly evolving social and environmental impacts of energy supply, transport, production and use at all levels require contribution from many disciplines if policy is to be effective. In particular E & E invite contributions from the study of policy delivery, ultimately more important than policy formation. The geopolitics of energy are also important, as are the impacts of environmental regulations and advancing technologies on national and local politics, and even global energy politics. Energy & Environment is a forum for constructive, professional information sharing, as well as debate across disciplines and professions, including the financial sector. Mathematical articles are outside the scope of Energy & Environment. The broader policy implications of submitted research should be addressed and environmental implications, not just emission quantities, be discussed with reference to scientific assumptions. This applies especially to technical papers based on arguments suggested by other disciplines, funding bodies or directly by policy-makers.
