本研究从投入产出关系和需求弹性出发，界定了驱动中国能源消费和二氧化碳排放的关键部门。该方法使我们能够分析能源消耗和二氧化碳排放与各部门经济活动的相关性，并揭示在中国政府制定适当的节能和碳减排政策时哪些部门值得更多关注。研究结果表明，中国经济体系中的关键部门不仅带动其他部门的能源消耗和二氧化碳排放，而且在其他部门需求的刺激下消耗大量化石能源并排放大量二氧化碳。因此，值得中国政府密切关注，特别是基础化学品制造、建筑施工、批发零售贸易、道路运输、房地产等行业。此外，案例研究表明，我国道路交通发展模式粗放，由于其在整个交通运输领域的主导地位，应采取有效措施帮助其实现低碳发展。 (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This research defines the key sectors driving China's energy consumption and CO2 emissions from the input-output relationship and demand elasticity. This method allows us to analyze the correlation of energy consumption and CO2 emissions with economic activities of various sectors, and reveal which sectors deserve more attention as Chinese Government shapes appropriate policies for energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction. The results indicate that the key sectors in China's economic system not only drive energy consumption and CO2 emissions of other sectors, but also consume substantial fossil energy and emit tremendous CO2 stimulated by the demand from other sectors. Therefore, they should be paid close attention by Chinese government, especially the sectors of Manufacture of Basic Chemicals, Construction of Buildings, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Transport via Road, and Real Estate. In addition, the case study shows that China's road transportation experiences extensive developing mode and effective measures should be taken to help achieve its low-carbon development due to its dominant role in the whole transportation sector.
