Research on High Quality Evaluation and Influencing Factors of China Energy Finance: Evidence From A-Share New Energy Companies

Abstract

High-quality development of energy finance (HQDEF) is not only a key component of high-quality economic development, but also an important solution to the current difficulties of China’s energy industry, such as environmental pollution and supply security. This study first clarifies the connotation and mechanism of high-quality energy finance, and then uses static super-efficiency DEA model as well as dynamic Malmquist index to evaluate the HQDEF from the perspective of input and output. We find that the overall effect of the HQDEF is at a low level. The scale efficiency and technical efficiency are deviating, where the former (latter) continues to expand (decline). The dynamic Malmquist index shows a slight decline in the efficiency of the HQDEF. Further studies on five dimensions of the HQDEF show that innovation has the highest correlation with each new energy industry. Lacking of innovation is the main bottleneck that restricts the development of the current new energy industry. The correlations among different industries have a tendency of “symmetry” and “convergence.” Our study provides countermeasures and suggestions for the high-quality and stable development of China’s energy finance from the perspectives of optimizing the financial support structure, building a technological innovation platform, optimizing the industrial structure, rationally making green investments and open development.

Revisiting SDG-7 under energy efficiency vision 2050: the role of new economic models and mass digitalization in OECD

“…Following that, the developed scenarios are described and the first three steps are based on identifying social developments that would significantly affect the realization of energy sustainability and their capacity to cause an increase or decrease in energy demand. Similarly, Step 4 looked at the effects of digitalization, new economic models, and energy consumer awareness movements on the individual models (Sheng et al, 2021 ). Hence, step 1 is about trend identification and such identification uses detailed policy notes requiring super large trends (D. Zhang et al, 2021 , Hsu et al, 2021 , and Ehsanullah et al, 2021 ).…”

Non-linear effects of green finance on air quality in China: New evidence from a panel threshold model

“…Green finance is more effective in reducing pollution from a highcarbon fossil energy structure, indicating that China reduces air pollution mainly by increasing the utilization of fossil energy rather than directly using clean energy. The funding gap in R&D investment and the lack of technological innovation capacity have become major bottlenecks in the development of clean energy and new energy industries (Sheng et al, 2021;Pan and Dong, 2022), mainly in renewable hydrogen production and energy storage technologies, wind or tidal energy generation technologies. Notably, as indicated by Model 6, when industrial structure optimization was introduced, the absolute value of the regression coefficients of the core explanatory variables significantly decreased, thereby resonating with Hong et al (2018) findings.…”
