“…Household cooling and heating demand is more sensitive to changes in weather patterns (Fan et al, 2019). In addition to this, many studies have confirmed the variation of ambient temperature on the energy consumption of household appliances (Harrington et al, 2018;Campagnolo and De Cian, 2022).…”

Rapidly increasing household energy consumption poses significant challenges to global warming mitigation and the transition to low-carbon economies, particularly in China. This paper addresses this issue by introducing a comprehensive segmentation model which effectively subdivides household energy usage into five end-uses: cooking/hot water, heating, cooling, lighting, and power. The segmentation model uncovers compelling insights into urban end-use energy consumption patterns across China and variations among provinces. We observe a consistent increase in urban household end-use energy consumption and per capita energy consumption levels over the past decade. Heating and cooking/hot water emerge as the dominant contributors to household energy consumption, accounting for 26% and 40% of the total, respectively. Furthermore, it is found that higher levels of urbanization and improved living conditions are positively correlated with increased power energy consumption. The declining number of household members, primarily due to the prevalence of nuclear families, has resulted in higher energy end-use, particularly in both developed and underdeveloped economic areas. This paper serves as a valuable foundation for understanding and quantifying household end-use energy consumption. The findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of energy consumption patterns, facilitating a cleaner and more sustainable transformation of energy consumption structures.

“…Mod Econ Manag 2024; 3: 7 https://doi.org/10.53964/mem.2024007 beyond carbon pricing; lack of theoretical foundations for such analysis; and lack of reliable data required to calibrate models to quantify the distributional effects. However, this literature has appeared recently and is being developed [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , since the importance of such assessments has increased dramatically after the adoption of a variety of regulations in different countries to attain ambitions decarbonization goals. Such assessments are important to maintain the level of ambition and avoid a rollback on policies and an erosion of credibility of the implementers.…”

“…Based on intensive literature review, this gap for the EU is being bridged to better tailor policy tools based on some consensus on the distributional effects of EU-level climate policy instruments [14] . The models in place are better suited to test distributional effects of carbon pricing, and so such studies dominate [15] . The key knowledge gaps include: lack of empirical evidence on the trade-offs between the sustainable development goals and low-carbon transformation policies; insufficient understanding of the distribution of additional costs and benefits across different groups; lack of knowledge regarding the approaches that can improve stakeholder engagement [13] .…”

“…Generally, literature suggests that climate actions broadly align with the SDGs, and multiple studies show that the adverse impacts of climate policies on inequality can be fully offset or substantially mitigated by careful planning and stakeholder engagement, as long as the effects potentially affecting inequality are taken into account at all stages of policy design and implementation [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . However, it is a common practice whenever ministries or departments of labor, social security, and health are not involved in the development of climate policies or evaluation of their implications.…”

Objective: The importance of assessing the socio-economic impacts of climate policies is growing as regulations are being adopted to promote decarbonization processes. Since Russia has committed to carbon neutrality by 2060, a large and diverse policy package should be launched to attain this goal. The policies need to be based on the effectiveness, equality and motivation. This paper presents the results of the first-of-a-kind research aimed to assess the impact of individual decarbonization policies on the distribution of consumer incomes and expenses for Russia. Methods: A system of simulation models was used to estimate prospective greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions pathway for Development Driven by Decarbonization and Democratization (4D scenario) and related macroeconomic effects (evolution of prices, incomes, employment and energy expenditures across major economic sectors and industries), which were used as inputs to the simulation model distributional effect of national decarbonization (DEFEND), which was specially developed to estimate the effects of climate policies at the household level split by income deciles. Results: This paper shows that only low carbon transition will sustain Russian economic growth by promoting reduced concentration of wealth and less centralized political system, whereas maintaining the extraction-based administratively ruled economic model will cause GDP to decline and form a “shagreen skin” economy. Conclusion: The paper concludes that many of the explored policies have regressive distributional effects, but sophisticated socio-economic engineering can tailor neutral climate mitigation policies to help to at least maintain the balance of income and expenses compared to the basic trajectory. This study identifies data and knowledge gaps in calibrating the models that look into the distributional effects.

“…Energy efficiency significantly affects the world economy, as well as regional and national energy balances (Hong et al, 2022). Energy is one of the economic lifelines of a country and its consumption has a strong adverse impact on climate change (Lucas and Mendes-Da-Silva, 2018;Cabeça et al, 2021;Campagnolo and De Cian, 2022). China, in particular, has been the world's largest energy consumer since 2007.…”

At present, green energy transformation and climate policy are increasingly connected. The need to improve national competitiveness and implement climate and energy strategies means that an energy-consuming country like China must rapidly enhance its green energy efficiency (GEE) and energy consumption structure. The following paper contributes to the existing literature by analyzing the effects of bilateral FDI on GEE from the perspective of spatial correlation. Based on data from 30 Chinese provinces between 2003 and 2020, this paper uses multiple undesired output indicators covering eight pollutants to measure GEE and then uses the coupling function to measure the coordinated development level of bilateral FDI (CDFDI). According to the Panel Vector Autoregression model, there is a coupling relationship between bilateral FDI. Both the global Moran index and the local Moran scatter plot shows that GEE and CDFDI are characterized by spatial aggregation. This paper adopts the dynamic Spatial Dubin Model for empirical analysis. Our results reveal a significant positive impact of CDFDI on GEE in local and nearby regions. The impact of CDFDI on GEE is moderated by technological diffusion, nationalization, and environmental regulation, resulting in differential impacts on GEE in local and nearby regions. Furthermore, CDFDI with different investment motives has a boosting effect on local GEE. Among them, the mutual investment portfolio between China and developed countries has a negative impact on the local GEE. By contrast, the complementary investment motivation portfolio can boost GEE in local and adjoining regions in any period. This is the first paper to study the spatial effects of green energy efficiency and the heterogeneity of investment incentives to help Chinese international investment policymakers better understand the contribution of CDFDI to improving GEE and inform supportive policies. To improve green energy efficiency, the government must strengthen the implementation of the opening-up policy and create international capital flows suitable for local needs.
