Analysis of Population Density and Energy Consumption-Example from Yangtze River Delta in China

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to test the relationship between population density and energy consumption in China. To test the relationships above, Data was collected for sixteen cities in Yangtze River Delta from 1999 to 2009 in China. Econometric modeling of panel data analysis was used to examine the hypotheses. FE estimates and RE estimates were obtained. Hausman estimate have been used to select appropriate results. U shape between energy consumption and population density exists when controlling other variables. It means that cities have optimal population density for minimum energy consumption. The paper shows that population density have U shape influences on urban energy consumption.
