China consumes a large amount of fossil fuels to support its economic development, making it the world's largest carbon emitter. To provide a solid basis for relevant policies and measures for energy conservation and emissions reduction, the evolution patterns of China's energy use in trade were detailed analyzed in this article. The results showed...
Article

In this study, we explore the evolution and formation mechanism of urban housing investment resilience from three perspectives: theoretical analysis, model construction, and empirical testing. Based on the three-element theory of investment decision making and urban resilience system theory, a theoretical framework of urban housing investment resil...

This study measures the resilience and efficiency of the real estate industry in 35 large and medium-sized cities in China through the core variable method and the slacks-based measure of super-efficiency. The Haken model identifies the advantages of synergistic evolutionary states between systems and describes the synergistic evolution of resilien...

Full-text available
Residential electricity consumption has an important impact on China’s construction of a low-carbon society. However, at present, little of the literature analyzes the influencing factors of residents’ overall well-being from the perspective of micro investigation. Based on the micro mixed cross section data of the Chinese General Social Survey (CG...

With the growth of urban agglomerations, the spatial diffusion of housing investment is clear; however, little research has been carried out to address its network characteristics and underlying mechanisms of influence. Using data on 35 large and medium-sized cities, this paper applies niche theory to housing investment, constructing a housing inve...
Article
China is the world's biggest energy consumer and carbon emitter; this is a great challenge to both global and national environmental security. To achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals, it is essential to identify the driving factors that affect the energy interaction patterns of the Chinese economy. For this purpose, the spatial...
Chapter
From the perspective of big data, this paper uses panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR) and Granger causality test model to analyze the dynamic relationship between public attention and housing prices, and further uses variance house to verify the level of economic development and macroeconomic development of external factors. Control policies a...
Article
Rapid urbanization exacerbates urban metabolic activities associated with irreversible environmental degradation. Evaluating urban metabolic performance is an effective method to meet targets for sustainable development in contemporary urban areas. Neighborhoods, which are regarded as the basic parts of cities, can detail the metabolic structure an...
Article
Many emerging economies have established long-term collective saving schemes to support housing consumption. One of the most eminent schemes is the Housing Provident Fund (HPF) in China, whose policy effect is highly debated. Based on data from the 2013 China Household Finance Survey, this paper evaluates the heterogeneity of the HPF's effect on th...
Article
Long-term collective saving schemes are widely adopted in many emerging economies to support residents’ housing consumption. This article evaluates the effect of the Housing Provident Fund (HPF), one of the most prominent housing policies in China, on income redistribution beyond its housing support role. Based on micro survey data, our results sug...
Article
The slow growth of the permanently settled migrants in host cities poses new challenges for the sustainability of China's future urbanization. Given the growing importance of homeownership, this paper clarifies migrants' settlement intentions into three mutually exclusive patterns, including de facto permanent settlement intention through homeowner...
Article
To achieve China's mandatory energy conservation and emission reduction targets, it is necessary to examine the driving factors in the energy increase with the due consideration of regional disparities. This study develops a region-based structural decomposition analysis method to capture the spatial heterogeneity of driving factors between eastern...
Article
China has exhibited an active attitude with regard to abating global climate change. To analyze the effect of economy development and urbanization quality on interregional energy transmissions against a backdrop of new-type urbanization, this study integrated MRIO model, complex network method, and spatial autocorrelation analysis to systematically...

... Years of rapid growth have, however, resulted in several drawbacks [3], such as the short history of marketization of China's real estate industry, the lack of a functioning market mechanism and the prevalence of speculative activity [4]. To this end, the government has implemented a series of regulation measures in the real estate industry with the prohibition of housing speculation as a guideline, such as restricting the purchase of second and third homes as well as the resale of housing within five years, thus prompting the real estate industry to make supply-side reforms and enter an adjustment period; however, this will also destroy the growth of the construction industry to a certain extent, leading to bottlenecks in the development of some real estate enterprises [3,5]. ...
... Energy is a basic element for human survival and development, and residential energy consumption is an important part of China's energy demand [1]. Demand for energy has increased with the development of the Chinese economy [2]. On the one hand, traditional energy is nonrenewable. ...
... For policy-based financial support, only HPF participants are eligible to apply, so the coverage and fairness of the HPF program have been widely questioned by scholars [7,40]. Low-income families find it difficult to not only afford housing but also receive support from HPF [41,42]. ...
... Huang et al. [24] categorised urban renewal projects in Taipei into three dimensions of environmental, economic, and social, by classifying them into decision units, and evaluated the efciency of renewal projects based on DEA. Tang et al. [25] combined energy analysis and SBM-DEA to construct an eco-efciency model and illustrated the applicability of this eco-model in urban regeneration using the questionnaire statistics of Chongqing, China, as an example. Numerous studies have shown that DEA treats the study area as a grey system in a complex urban system, focusing on the relationship between its "input" and "output," instead of studying the interaction of various factors, similar to "black box operation," which can avoid the bias caused by the interaction of the internal links of the complex urban system and thus obtain more realistic performance evaluation results. ...
... In addition, the positive marginal effect of HPF on homeownership was shown to be rising from 2014. This finding echoes the existing literatures that housing finance accessibility matters for homeownership tendency [31,40,73] and supports a recent finding that HPF plays an active role in China's housing finance system [43,74]. Moreover, the marginal effect of city-level HPF participation rate on migrants' homeownership acquisition (e.g., 0.241 for CMDS 2016) was more than four times that of individual-level HPF participation (0.057 for CMDS 2016). ...
... Under the background of green and sustainable development, clean energy has become an ideal substitute for traditional fossil energy [5]. In addition, the Chinese government promised in the "Paris Climate Summit" to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 [6]. In order to fulfill its commitments, reducing the use of traditional energy and increasing clean energy consumption are important measures taken by the Chinese government to reduce carbon dioxide emissions [7]. ...
... In the second stage, as shown in Table 2, empirical findings for control variables (micro-level characteristics of rural migrants, city-level attributes of host city, and geographic factor of migration) were in line with theoretic forecasts and consistent with the previous empirical literature [8,9,48,71,72]. It is important to note that the city-level indicator of rural migrants' accessibilities to HPF was shown to have a significantly positive effect on migrants' homeownership propensity. In addition, the positive marginal effect of HPF on homeownership was shown to be rising from 2014. ...
... Many scholars have proven that CEE is spatially clustered and dependent (Li et al. 2019a, b;Chuai and Feng 2019). In exploring regional CEE, ignoring spatial spillover effect may lead to biased estimates (Hong et al. 2020). Our study, therefore, assumed that there was a spatial effect of CEE. ...
