The Effects of Trade, Domestic Final Demand and Technology on Energy Consumption of China

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rapid growth of China’s economy consumed a lot of energy, but excessive energy consumption may constraint the sustainable development of China. This paper constructs a two-tier structural decomposition analysis model to decompose the change of energy use during 1987 and 2010 into 11 factors, and analyze the results of sub-periods. The results show that the scale and products’ structure of domestic final demand, the scale of exports, imports substitution, the structure and the input technology of material promoted the energy in the whole period. However, the intensity of energy, the products structure of exports , the structure and technology change of energy input reduced the energy consumption.
