“…Alisa (2020) analyzed the feasibility of using carbon tax revenue to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects based on the case of Switzerland. The study showed that such policy could not only reduce carbon emissions but also help reduce the cost of home heating (Freyre et al, 2020). Rehman (2021) explored the interaction between carbon dioxide emissions and industrialization, energy imports, carbon intensity, economic development, and total capital by using data from 1971 to 2019 in Pakistan (Rehman et al, 2021).…”

As a national pillar industry, the carbon emissions generated by the construction industry have received significant attention. As a large developing country, China has unbalanced regional development and imperfect modern energy infrastructure in some regions, leading to a prominent problem of energy poverty in China. Therefore, this study constructs the index system of energy poverty using panel data of 30 provinces and cities from 2004 to 2016. This article analyzes the influence of energy poverty on carbon intensity of the construction industry and constructs the influence model of carbon intensity of the construction industry. The results show that 1) the carbon intensity of the construction industry increases by 1.683 units per unit increase of energy poverty, showing a positive impact. 2) Energy consumption structure has a mediating effect on the impact of energy poverty on carbon intensity of the construction industry. 3) The technological level plays a moderating role in the main effect of energy poverty and carbon intensity in the construction industry; the degree of marketization plays a moderating role in the indirect effect of energy consumption structure and carbon intensity of the construction industry. These results offered valuable policy recommendations for sustainable industrial growth.

“…The accuracy of the results was increased by using the all-encompassing forecasting test developed by Freyre et al (2020). According to investigators, whether or not a predicting model includes alternatives based on the importance of a corresponding variable when using a regression test for predicting in Table 6.…”

Central banks and regulators increasingly consider climate-related financial risks (CRFR) relevant to their responsibilities for maintaining financial stability and using daily data from 2016 to 2021 for China. Specifically, we used the S&P Green Bond Price Index, the Solactive Global Solar Price Index, the Solactive Global Wind Price Index, and the S&P Global Clean Energy and Carbon Price Index as our data set. We use the TVP-VAR method to probe return spillovers and interconnectedness. We test several portfolio strategies, including the minimum variance portfolio, the minimum correlation portfolio, and the more recent minimum connectedness portfolio. However, the evolving policy structure for dealing with CRFR has generally focused on market-based solutions that attempt to address perceived data gaps that preclude the appropriate pricing of CRFR, even though CRFR is thought to have certain distinctive features. Disclosure and openness fall within this category. We propose limiting the approach's influence since CRFR is characterized by extreme attainability. A 'precautionary' financial policy option is presented as an alternative, providing a conceptual foundation for justifying more aggressive financial policy intervention in the present to better cope with these long-term dangers.

“…(Urban et al, 2018) The MCS analysis confirms that the fixed-income sector has had exceptional success, with the Green Building Index coming in second. The accuracy of the results was increased by using the all-encompassing forecasting test developed by (Freyre et al, 2020). According to, investigators may tell whether or not a predicting model includes alternatives based on the importance of a corresponding variable when using a regression test for predicting.…”
