该书运用前沿分析技术和独特中国投入产出数据,从能源和环境维度对中国各行业和各地区的经济转型和可持续发展情景进行了评估和预测,提出了环境全要素生产率、绿色工业革命、二氧化碳影子价格、可持续发展评估指数、节能减排红利、双赢发展等诸多新概念和新度量方法。该书不仅向国际学术界系统介绍了中国能源和环境制约型经济发展的历程以及政府节能减排的种种努力,而且对于我国实现经济和生态文明的协调发展以及政府制定合理的环境规制政策提供了重要的理论依据。
——“张培刚发展经济学优秀成果奖”获奖著作简介
以下为全书简要介绍及目录:
China has achieved rapid economic growth since the market-oriented reform in 1978 and became the second largest economy in the world in 2010. However, the growth model in China is still extensive in nature and may be characterized with high energy consumption and heavy environmental pollutions etc. In fact, China has successively become the largest carbon emitter since 2007 and the largest energy consumer since 2009 in the world. This book endeavors to analyze whether such energy driven and environment restricted economic growth can be sustainable in China in the long run.
The book describes the basic situations of energy consumption and environmental pollution in China from the dimensions of industries, regions and energy-types. It also introduces the evolution of energy and environmental policies implemented in China. In particular, this book makes use of the environmental activity analysis model to assess the sustainable transformation of economic model in Chinese industries and regions. This model captures the negative externalities of pollutants and estimates the environmental total factor productivity accurately. The possibilities of win-win development and double dividend are also forecasted.
This book proposes new methods to measure the environmental total factor productivity, evaluate the process of low carbon transformation, quantify the structural bonus, estimate the abating cost and forecast the win-win development and so on. Researchers may find these methodologies useful for measuring other pollutants and for analysis in other countries.
