This paper aims to offer fresh insights into the determinants of ET from the renewable energy policy (REP) perspective. By employing panel data from 280 Chinese cities covering the period from 2003 to 2019, and applying the text-mining methodology, this analysis initially explores the impact of REP on the ET. Our empirical findings demonstrate that REP significantly promotes ET, with our proposed hypotheses successfully enduring a series of robustness tests. This acceleration is predominantly through two mechanisms: the stimulation of green technology innovation and the enhancement of ET readiness. However, the influence of energy system performance on this transition is insignificant. This investigation reveals a pronounced regional heterogeneity in the effects that REP on ET. Specifically, the positive impact of these policies is stronger in the eastern cities of China, also in small and medium-sized cities, and cities with high levels of economic development, human capital, finance development, lower environmental pollution levels, and old industry areas. These findings provide valuable references for China and other countries pursuing similar objectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 107838"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142040072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the discrepancy between intermittent RE generation and EV charging load may impose burden on the RE-dominant power grid of the future. For the issue, Time-of-Use (ToU) pricing for EV charging has been widely discussed or adopted as its potential is well acknowledged by previous studies. While ToU mechanism has been primarily based on drivers' price-responsive behavior, this research highlights that EV charging decisions are influenced by various factors beyond price, such as time of a day, charger accessibility and waiting time. Here, we conducted the discrete choice experiment to measure drivers' preferences for EV charging, and developed an EV charging behavior model which incorporated drivers' situational-responsiveness as well as price-responsiveness. Also, the model was used to design optimal ToU tariffs to minimize net-load variation. The results showed that strategic ToU tariffs can shift EV charging load, but achieving desirable load shifts requires a significant price gap. Additionally, combining ToU pricing with strategic deployment of charging infrastructure can effectively shift EV charging load, reducing RE curtailments by 22.14%, and LNG generation and carbon emissions by 10.12%, compared to the Business-as-Usual (BaU) scenario with current tariff rates. Thus, this study highlights the importance of flexible EV charging pricing and the importance of considering charging infrastructure deployment when designing EV ToU pricing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 107852"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142043630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The energy price crisis causes varying degrees of households' welfare losses by directly increasing energy prices and indirectly increasing product costs along the supply chain. This impact is particular significant for developing countries and emerging economies with a large concentration of middle and low-income groups. In this study, we utilize a multiregional input-output (MRIO) model and micro-household consumption spending figures to simulate the effects of rising fuel costs, both directly and indirectly, on 24 expenditure segments in China. According to the energy prices schema, we find increased energy burdens deteriorate household welfare. In a dire scenario of a 50% increase in energy prices, 11.35% of households will fall into energy poverty because of a disproportionately high share of visible energy consumption, raising China's energy poverty rate from 11.61% to 22.96%. Residual impacts are passed on to households by raising the cost of producing goods, resulting in higher indirect energy consumption, and ultimately leading to a significant increase in the inequality of households' real incomes excluding energy consumption. Further analysis shows that it is more cost-effective to provide subsidies to relatively poor households for the consumption of various commodities, with subsidies for food, healthcare and medical services, and housing expenses being the most effective, than direct subsidization of energy prices by the government to reduce household welfare losses. The major findings of this study emphasize the impact of energy security challenges in household sector, that helps to assess the negative impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on energy securities of emerging economies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 107836"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142002348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that carbon market is a short-term net skewness spillover receiver, but becomes a medium-term risk source under all market conditions, capable of transmitting skewness risk to the natural gas market. The carbon market acts as a short- and medium-term kurtosis risk source for the natural gas and electricity markets in the lower probability of extreme returns, but bears the kurtosis risk from the natural gas and coal markets when the extreme risk is high. These results indicate that policymakers should take measures to adjust carbon prices when facing long-term skewness risk and a lower probability of extreme returns in the carbon market, to prevent further spread of risk to the energy markets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 107833"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the newly available firm registration data, we employ the Poisson regression model and find that the falling fiscal condition of county governments triggered by an exogenous tax reform significantly leads to more entry of energy-intensive enterprises. We uncover that the increased entry of energy-intensive enterprises is primarily driven by relaxing environmental regulation rather than other policy changes. Delving into firm nature, we find that these energy-intensive entrants are usually large firms and privately owned firms. Further evidence suggests that industrial agglomeration, regional marketization levels, and legal environments negatively moderate the impact of fiscal distress on the entry of energy-intensive enterprises.
