| description | In the context of global warming, abnormal temperature is becoming more frequent and its various impacts are receiving increased attention, but the impact of abnormal temperature on rural energy poverty has received relatively little focus. This study examines the effects of abnormal temperature on rural energy poverty, utilizing the systematic generalized method of moments with data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2020. Using a panel threshold model, we investigate how the urban–rural gap and the quality of rural housing interact with the relationship between abnormal temperature and rural energy poverty. Our findings suggest that abnormal temperature significantly increases rural energy poverty by 5.7%, and the impact of abnormal temperature on rural energy poverty is exacerbated by a greater urban–rural gap and lower quality of rural housing. This study yields several policy implications for achieving a coordinated and synergistic response to climate change and the eradication of energy poverty based on the promotion of balanced development. |
