摘要
【目的】环境恶化和能源安全问题要求中国能源消费结构加速向低碳化转型。厘清用能权有偿使用和交易制度试点(简称用能权政策)对省域能源消费结构低碳化转型的影响和作用路径对市场型环境权益规制建设具有重要政策启示。【方法】本文从“准自然实验”视角研究用能权政策试点省份政策实施效果,把用能权政策试点的4省份(浙江、福建、河南和四川)作为实验组,其余26省份(因数据缺失不包括港、澳、台及西藏)作为对照组。选择政策起始年2016年为冲击时间点,构建双重差分模型验证用能权政策实施与能源消费结构低碳化转型的关系。【结果】(1)用能权政策可以显著提升试点省份和毗邻省份的能源消费结构低碳化水平;(2)绿色技术进步和降低资源依赖是用能权政策改善能源消费结构低碳化的主要路径,产业结构升级和公众环保关注的中介机制路径尚未畅通;(3)用能权政策对中西部地区和环境信息披露程度低值地区能源消费结构低碳化的促进作用更为显著。【结论】本文证实了用能权政策能够通过绿色技术进步和降低资源依赖实现地区能源消费结构低碳化转型。因此,建议积极有序扩大用能权政策的试点范围,充分认识地区差异性和环境信息披露程度对用能权实施效果的异质性影响,推动地区经济实现绿色高质量发展。
[Objective]An accelerated shift toward low carbon energy consumption is required in China due to environmental deterioration and energy security concerns.Clarifying the impact and mechanism of the Energy-consuming Right Trading System(ERTS)on the low-carbon transformation of the provincial energy consumption structure provides important policy implications for the development of market-based environmental regulation.[Methods]This study explored the effects of the ERTS from the perspective of a quasi-natural experiment,taking the four pilot provinces(Zhejiang,Fujian,Henan,and Sichuan)as the experimental group and the remaining 26 provinces(excluding Hong Kong,Macao,Taiwan,and Tibet due to missing data)as the control group.The year 2016,when the policy began to be implemented,was seen as the time of policy shocks.The difference-in-differences(DID)method was used to test the relationship between the ERTS and the low-carbon transformation of the energy consumption structure.[Results](1)The ERTS significantly and positively promoted the low-carbon transformation of the energy consumption structure in the pilot provinces and neighboring provinces.(2)Green technological progress and reduced resource dependency were the main paths for the ERTS to promote the low-carbon transformation of the energy consumption structure,while the mechanisms of industrial structure upgrading and public environmental concerns were not yet available.(3)In central provinces,western provinces,and provinces with low environmental information disclosure levels,the ERTS made a greater contribution to the decarbonization of energy consumption structure.[Conclusion]This study confirmed that the ERTS can achieve a low-carbon transformation of regional energy consumption structure through green technological progress and reduced resource dependency.Therefore,it is recommended to actively and orderly expand the pilot scope of the ERTS.The heterogeneous effects of regional differences and the level of environmental information disclosure on the effectiveness of the ERTS should be fully understood to promote the green and high-quality development of regional economies.
