Carbon emission reduction (CER) is increasingly becoming a global issue. This study explored the impact mechanism of upgrading of consumption structure (UCS) and human capital level (HC) on carbon emissions, and an empirical test was carried out using the provincial panel data from 2000 to 2019 in China. The results show the following: (1) China’s UCS could significantly curb carbon emissions. (2) At present, China’s HC is positively correlated with carbon emissions. The higher the level of human capital, the less conducive to CER. Additionally, the moderating effect of HC could inhibit the CER induced by UCS. (3) Regional heterogeneity analysis showed that the UCS in the central and western regions of China was conducive to CER, while the estimated coefficient of UCS on CER in the eastern region was not significant. (4) The UCS could reduce carbon emissions by stimulating the mediating effect of industrial upgrading. Based on empirical study results, this study proposes policy suggestions that can help reduce China’s carbon emissions.
Forestry is the key of Xinjiang eco-construction. And the financial input can maintain the sustainable development of Xinjiang forestry. From the view of the financial input on Xinjiang forestry eco-construction, this paper which is based on the Top -Ten eco-construction program, comes to the point in three ways: government financial input, commercial input and public input. And it holds that the longtime financial effection is not the only solution to forestry eco-construction but the multiplication of financial input and the Support of the Follow-up Forestry Industries to reach the goal of blood refreshing. From blood transfusion also weigh much.
With the industrial organization theory, this paper makes an empirical analysis on the structure of the industries of Western China by concentration ratios, economies of scale and barriers to entry and exit. Based on these, this paper comes to the conclusion that the structure of the industries of Western China is immoderate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
