“…In addition, Xu and Chen [36] estimated that the coal consumption for power supply in China was reduced with improvements of fuel use in the power generation process after the market reforms in 2002. Furthermore, Thakur et al [38] also reported that transmission losses in China's power sector declined from 7% in 1990 to 6.5% in 2004, after the market reforms.…”

“…In addition, Zha et al [38] also reported that transmission losses in China's power sector declined from 7% in 1990 to 6.5% in 2004. Figure 8 shows that the emission coefficient factor generally drove the increase in CO2 emissions from India's residential sector until 2004.…”

“…In particular, this Act aimed to improve efficiency and customer service standards by promoting competition among various players within the electricity sector [38]. Furthermore, India's short-term energy policies were executed based Indeed, India's government implemented the Electricity Act of 2003 to create a market-based regime in the electricity sector to ensure a stable supply of electricity [38][39][40]. This legislation entailed open access to the transmission and distribution system, introduction of competition in the power generation sector, and facilitating an electricity trading market [41].…”

“…It is also confirmed that there is a strong relationship between the CO2 emission coefficient effect (∆ 2 ) and the indirect emission coefficient. Indeed, India's government implemented the Electricity Act of 2003 to create a market-based regime in the electricity sector to ensure a stable supply of electricity [38][39][40]. This legislation entailed open access to the transmission and distribution system, introduction of competition in the power generation sector, and facilitating an electricity trading market [41].…”

Abstract:The main objective of this paper is to identify and analyze the key drivers behind changes of CO 2 emissions in the residential sectors of the emerging economies, China and India. For the analysis, we investigate to what extent changes in residential emissions are due to changes in energy emissions coefficients, energy consumption structure, energy intensity, household income, and population size. We decompose the changes in residential CO 2 emissions in China and India into these five contributing factors from 1990 to 2011 by applying the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method. Our results show that the increase in per capita income level was the biggest contributor to the increase of residential CO 2 emissions, while the energy intensity effect had the largest effect on CO 2 emissions reduction in residential sectors in both countries. This implies that investments for energy savings, technological improvements, and energy efficiency policies were effective in mitigating CO 2 emissions. Our results also depict that the change in CO 2 emission coefficients for fuels which include both direct and indirect emission coefficients slowed down the increase of residential emissions. Finally, our results demonstrate that changes in the population and energy consumption structure drove the increase in CO 2 emissions.

The infrastructure sector is one of the major pillars for economic growth and development of a country. The responsibility to develop this crucial sector is shifting away from the public to the private sector. After the economic liberalization in 1991, India opened the infrastructure sector, among many others, to private domestic and foreign investment. The shortage of electricity, the poor state of roads, and limited telecom access necessitated a stream of persistent reforms, which were expected to play a significant role in the infrastructure sector's growth. Although some subsectors witnessed success, others continued to face hurdles. The paper highlights the role of infrastructure in socio-economic development through global literature. It also presents a story of infrastructure development in India since the inception of economic liberalization. It highlights various challenges that discourage private sector investments, thus providing a rationale for policy initiatives by the government. The paper also presents critical issues highlighted by multiple government committees over nearly three decades and identifies residual issues that merit attention. The outcomes of the paper are relevant in the context of developing and emerging economies.
