Energy Saving and Economic Growth: Empirical Analysis Based on Panel Data

Article Preview

Abstract:

we analyzed the relationship between energy conservation and economic using panel data. the reduction of energy consumption per unit of GDP and energy consumption per unit of industrial value-added will promote economic growth, however, lower electricity consumption per unit of GDP may inhibit economic growth. Finally, this article puts forward corresponding suggestions, including improving the relevant laws and regulations, speeding up the energy saving information disclosure, improving public participation mechanisms, speeding up the adjustment of industrial structure and technological innovations, and promoting the reform of energy prices.
