摘要

电气化对于实现全球净零排放和减少能源贫困至关重要,特别是对参与“一带一路”倡议的发展中国家而言。本研究采用差异中的差异方法,考察了2009年至2020年“一带一路”倡议对118个国家电气化水平的影响。研究结果表明,与非“一带一路”国家相比,“一带一路”倡议使“一带一路”国家的电气化水平提高了约1%。这一增长主要是由贸易和投资的增加推动的,这促进了电力设备的进口,并支持了中国支持的发电厂项目。在海上丝绸之路沿线国家、高收入国家和营商环境良好的国家,“一带一路”倡议的影响更为明显。虽然“一带一路”倡议同时促进了可再生和不可再生电力设备的进口,但它主要支持不可再生基础设施投资。鉴于中国在清洁能源方面的专业知识,“一带一路”倡议在优先考虑可再生能源整合、打造可持续低碳未来方面仍有未开发的潜力。

Paving the Way towards Green Development: Impact of the Belt and Road Initiative on Electrification in Participating Countries

Electrification is crucial for achieving global net zero emissions and reducing energy poverty, particularly in developing countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This study uses the difference-in-differences method to examine the BRI's impact on electrification levels in 118 countries from 2009 to 2020. Its findings indicate that the BRI increased electrification in BRI countries by approximately 1 percent compared with non-BRI countries. This increase was driven primarily by enhanced trade and investments, which facilitated imports of power equipment and supported China-backed power-plant projects. The BRI's impact was more pronounced in Maritime Silk Road countries, high-income nations, and those with favorable business environments. Although the BRI promoted both renewable and nonrenewable power equipment imports, it primarily favored nonrenewable infrastructure investments. Given China's expertise in clean energy, there remains untapped potential for the BRI to prioritize renewable energy integration, fostering a sustainable and low-carbon future.

期刊介绍: The bi-monthly China & World Economy was launched in 1993 by the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). It is the only English-language journal in China devoted to the topic of the Chinese economy. The journal aims to provide foreign readers with an objective, impartial, analytical and up-to-date account of the problems faced and progress made by China in its interaction with the world economy. Among its contributors are many distinguished Chinese economists from both academic and government circles. As such, it has become a unique window on China and is essential reading for all those concerned with China"s development.
