居民受教育程度对生活碳排放的门槛效应研究

Threshold effects of residents' education level on residential carbon emissions

基于2000—2012年中国29个省份的数据,利用门槛面板模型考察了居民受教育程度对生活碳排放影响的门槛效应。结果发现:(1)居民受教育程度对生活碳排放存在显著的门槛效应。当人均GDP越过较高的门槛值时,居民受教育程度对生活碳排放有显著的抑制作用;随着居民生活能源效率的提升并越过门槛值,居民受教育程度对生活碳排放会产生抑制作用。(2)居民受教育程度对生活碳排放的影响存在显著的地区差异。最后,为抑制生活碳排放,提出如下建议:应当加快经济发展;提高能源效率;协调各地区抑制生活碳排放工作。

Based on the data of 29 provinces from 2000 to 2012,a panel threshold model was built to study the effects of residents’education level on residential carbon emissions.It was showed that:(1)the threshold effects were significant.When per capita GDP was over the higher threshold,residential carbon emissions were inhibited by residents’education level.With the increase of energy efficiency and being over the threshold,the residential carbon emissions were inhibited by residents’education level,too.(2)There were significant regional differences of residents’education level on residential carbon emissions.Finally,in order to curb residential carbon emissions,suggestions were as follows:economic development should be speed up;energy efficiency should be improved;the work of reducing residential carbon emissions in different regions should be coordinated.
