Evaluating the energy poverty alleviation effect in industrial transition scenarios: Evidence from China

This paper employs China’s 30 provinces as research objects to capture the potential role of industrial transition on addressing energy poverty from two dimensions: industrial supererogation and rationalization. We also explore the heterogeneity and mechanism between the variables. The findings are...

description This paper employs China’s 30 provinces as research objects to capture the potential role of industrial transition on addressing energy poverty from two dimensions: industrial supererogation and rationalization. We also explore the heterogeneity and mechanism between the variables. The findings are as follows: (i) Industrial supererogation can effectively address the issue of energy poverty, while industrial rationalization has not played an active role in promoting energy poverty alleviation; (ii) the impact of industrial transition on energy resources poverty shows significant heterogeneity; and (iii) rapid industrial supererogation affects energy resources poverty by improving energy efficiency and adjusting the energy use structure.
