绿色金融发展对能源强度的影响机制研究

Research on the Influence Mechanism of Green Finance Development on Energy Intensity

中国作为世界上最大的能源消费国,如何降低能源强度,实现能源高质量发展值得探讨。本文旨在评估绿色金融发展在降低能源强度中的作用,基于2010至2021年中国省级面板数据,采用面板熵值法测度绿色金融指标,并采用固定效应模型系统评价绿色金融与能源强度的关系。研究结果表明,绿色金融发展有助于降低能源强度;机制分析发现绿色金融可以通过增强环境保护力度和提高绿色技术创新水平来降低能源强度;异质性分析发现绿色金融降低能源强度的影响对东部地区和非资源禀赋型省份有显著影响,对中西部地区和资源禀赋型省份的作用尚未显现。最后,本文提出了促进绿色金融发展的相关政策建议。

As the world's largest energy consumer,China is worth exploring how to reduce energy intensity and realize high-quality energy development.This paper aims to assess the role of green finance development in reducing energy intensity.Based on China's provincial-level panel data from 2010 to 2021,the panel entropy method is used to measure the green finance indicators,and the fixed-effects model is used to systematically evaluate the relationship between green finance and energy intensity.The results of the study show that green financial development contributes to the reduction of energy intensity.The mechanism analysis finds that green finance can reduce energy intensity by enhancing environmental protection and improving green technological innovation.Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of green finance on reducing energy intensity has a significant effect on the eastern regions and non-resource-endowed provinces.In contrast,its impact on the central and western regions and resource-endowed provinces has not yet been manifested.Finally,we put forward policy recommendations to promote the development of green finance,build a cooperation platform for green finance and science and technology innovation,enhance the depth and breadth of renewable energy utilization,and build differentiated green finance according to local conditions.
