摘要

本文研究了消除能源贫困对中国碳不平等缓解的影响。首先，我们发现能源贫困与碳不平等呈正相关，说明缓解能源贫困缩小了碳排放的不平等。其次，在能源贫困和碳不平等状况进一步恶化的地区，缓解能源贫困尤为重要。第三，环保支出是一个中介，也可以直接解决碳不平等问题。第四，能源贫困抑制了技术创新，导致传统能源消费增加，不利于能源转型。

Enlarging or narrowing? Exploring the impact of energy poverty on carbon inequality in China

This paper investigates the impact of energy poverty eradication on carbon inequality mitigation in China. First, we find that energy poverty positively correlates with carbon inequality, indicating that alleviating energy poverty narrows the inequality of carbon emissions. Second, alleviating energy poverty is especially crucial in regions facing a more deteriorated situation characterized by energy poverty and carbon inequality. Third, environmental protection expenditures are a mediator and can also directly tackle carbon inequality. Fourth, energy poverty inhibits technological innovation and leads to more traditional energy consumption, undermining the energy transition.

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
