“…Moreover, FD can provide individuals more diversified ways to manage their own finance, and thus increasing income, which expands the demand for EC. In terms of control variables, economic development has a strong role in promoting the growth of EC, because economic development needs the resources inputs in the productive activities, which will promote EC (Meng et al, 2022, Gu et al, 2019. The expansion of population leads to more EC, as population growth increases energy demand.…”

Poverty alleviation and energy saving are two major issues of sustainable development targets. Meanwhile, financial development (FD) is a powerful engine of economic growth, which is regard as a valid approach to contain the demand for energy consumption (EC). However, few studies link the three factors and explore the specific impact mechanism of poverty alleviation efficiency (PE) on the tie between FD and EC. Thus, we employ the mediation and threshold models to evaluate the influence of FD on the EC in China during 2010-2019 from the perspective of PE. We affirm that FD indirectly promotes EC through the channel of PE. The mediating effect of PE is responsible for 15.75% of the total effect of FD on the EC. Moreover, FD generates a significant threshold impact on the EC considering the change of PE. When the PE exceeds 0.524, the role of FD in promoting EC is strengthened. Ultimately, the outcome suggests policymakers need to prominent the trade-off between energy saving and poverty reduction during the fast evolution of financial system.

“…Montanía and Dall’erba (2021) have proposed a multidynamic interregional IO shift-share decomposition to analyze the drivers of economic growth in European Union countries. Meng et al (2022) have used hybrid structural decomposition analysis to assess the drivers of China’s energy consumption and regional disparities. Ge and Xie (2019) have used hierarchical SDA to evaluate the effects of changes in final demand on China’s employment fluctuation.…”

“…Therefore, SDA can distinguish between technological and final demand effects and indirect demand effects (Hoekstra and van der Bergh, 2003;Rose and Casler, 1996). So far, SDA has been applied to analyze air pollution (Leontief and Ford, 1972), energy consumption (Meng et al, 2022), carbon emissions (Cansino et al, 2016;Su and Ang, 2016), economic growth (Hong et al, 2016) and productivity changes (Yang and Lahr, 2010). Scholars have developed different SDA models for different research goals and data availability.…”

Purpose Tourism is a labor-intensive sector with extensive links to other industries and plays a vital role in creating employment. This study aims to propose a new framework to analyze the intrinsic structure of the employment effects of tourism-related sectors and their drivers. Design/methodology/approach This study uses input–output and structural decomposition analysis (IO-SDA) to quantify the employment effects of tourism-related sectors and their driving mechanisms based on China’s I-O tables of 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017. Findings The results show a declining trend in the intensity of direct or indirect employment effects in tourism-related sectors, indicating a decreasing number of jobs directly or indirectly required to create a unit of tourism output. Among tourism-related sectors, catering has the highest intensity of indirect employment effects over the study period. Catering stimulates the indirect employment of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and food and tobacco manufacturing. The decomposition analysis reveals that final demand is the largest contributor to the increase in tourism employment, while technological progress shifts from an employment-creation effect in 2002–2012 to an employment-destruction effect in 2012–2017. Originality/value This study proposes a new analytical framework to investigate the structural proportional relationship between the direct and indirect employment effects of various tourism-related sectors and their dynamic changes. Doing so, it provides valuable references for policymakers to promote tourism employment.

“…The results show that there are differences in energy consumption among regions and different sectors. The positive effect of energy consumption caused by income growth is more significant in cities [7]. Han et al applied the quantile regression technique to explore the impact of trade openness and urbanization effect on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in China.…”

Technological progress has been considered as the essential backbone of reducing energy consumption and achieving low-carbon transmission. It is universally accepted that the technological level and energy structure change with time, indicating a significant characteristic of regime switching. From the perspective of regime switching, this paper considers the saving and rebound effect of technological progress and uses MSIH-VAR model to empirically analyze energy consumption changes in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2019. The results show that technological progress restricts the growth of energy consumption. Specifically, in the whole period, the variables show significant characteristics of double regimes, whose attributes are different. Moreover, the boundary between regimes is clear, and the state is stable. Technological progress in regime 1 positively promotes the increase of energy consumption, while in regime 2 decreases energy consumption. The saving effect is stage or lag under different regimes.
