Future Research

Diverse factors may have an impact in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions; thus, three main contributors, energy consumption, gross domestic product (GDP) and an exergy indicator are examined in this work. This study explores the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption by means of the hypothesis postulated for the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Panel data for ten countries, from 1971 to 2014 have been studied. Despite a wide gamma of research on the EKC, the role of an exergy variable has not been tested to find the EKC; for this reason, exergy analysis is proposed. Exergy analyses were performed to propose an exergetic indicator as a control variable and a comparative empirical study is developed to study a multivariable framework with the aim to detect correlations between them. High correlation between CO2, GDP, energy consumption, energy intensity and trade openness are observed, on the other hand not statistically significant values for trade openness and energy intensity. The results do not support the EKC hypothesis, however exergy intensity opens the door for future research once it proves to be a useful control variable. Exergy provides opportunities to analyze and implement energy and environmental policies in these countries, with the possibility to link exergy efficiencies and the use of renewables.

The Relationship

Taking Zhejiang Province as an example, this paper using statistical data of 1990-2009 makes a statistical analysis of energy consumption and an empirical research on the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption, energy efficiency by the way of metrology analysis. The result shows the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption, energy efficiency in Zhejiang Province is long balanced. There is a two-way causation between economic growth and energy consumption, but only a single causal relationship between economic growth and energy efficiency, namely, GDP grows by 3.4% when energy efficiency grows by 1%. Therefore, we give some advice on energy consumption in Zhejiang Province and the national economy sustainable development.

Panel Vector Autoregression

This paper has investigated the inner relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. Firstly, the authors have analyzed industrial level in 31 provinces of China between 1978 and 2011, and then classified them into different groups according to industrialization stages during different periods. Next, empirical study has tested the causality between economic growth and electricity consumption by the means of Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR). Then we conclude that the causality between electricity consumption and economic growth is bidirectional in Pre-industrial and late industrialization stage, during which reducing emissions is likely to have negative impact on GDP. And thus we need to pay more attention to improving energy efficiency and developing new energy. At the beginning and middle stage of industrialization, there exists unidirectional relation between economic growth and electricity consumption, which implies that a policy to reduce energy consumption makes little difference to GDP.
