A Comparative Analysis of Residential Energy Consumption in Urban and Rural China: Determinants and Regional Disparities

Abstract: Residential energy consumption (REC) has become increasingly important in constructing an energy-saving and environment-friendly society in China. The main purpose of this study is to provide a more in-depth analysis of the determinants of REC from an urban-rural segregation perspective, and quantify the contributions of individual determinants to the regional disparities of REC. Based on the extended STIRPAT (the stochastic impacts by regression on population, affluence, and technology) model, seemingly unrel… Show more

“…From 2007 to 2018, the Kernel density curve moves to the right, which shows the URE per capita is gradually increasing during the study period. There is evidence that income increase contributes to residential energy consumption [1]. The improvement of living standards promotes each person to consume more residential energy.…”

“…An individual resident is the most basic energy consumer, and households are the terminal link of energy consumption. Their behaviors not only directly affect the scale and growth of energy consumption and carbon emissions but also drive the emissions of industry, construction, transportation, and the service industries [8,9]. Therefore, the household potential for reduction is of great significance for environmental conservation.…”
