论文摘要
本文提出了一种全新的在家庭层面上的能源效率的度量，并探讨了其如何受到信贷的影响。我们计算了相关部门的能源和碳强度，从2005年到2019年，这些部门的下降幅度大大下降。尽管中国家庭的能源使用和碳排放仍然很高，但长期以来能源效率似乎得到了提高。我们的研究进一步绘制了金融市场与能源之间的关系。结果表明，通过更高的能源利用和碳排放，扩大信用范围可以鼓励家庭提高能源效率。
This paper proposes a brand-new measure of energy efficiency at household level and explores how it is affected by access to credit. We calculate the energy and carbon intensity of the related sectors, which experience a substantial decline from 2005 to 2019. Although there is still high inequality in energy use and carbon emissions among Chinese households, the energy efficiency appears to be improved in long run. Our research further maps the relationship between financial market and energy. The results suggest that broadened access to credit encourages households to improve energy efficiency, with higher energy use and carbon emission.
