“…On the contrary, Allan, et al (2007) and Turner (2009) show that both shortrun and long-run rebound e¤ects are considerable, and surprisingly short-run rebound e¤ects are greater than long-run e¤ects, which seems to contradict previous theoretical studies on rebound e¤ects (e.g. Saunders, 2008;Wei, 2007). New theory is necessary to explain these contradictions.…”

“…Hence, empirical evidence is very inconclusive. For example, according to Gardner and Joutz (1996), The short-run rebound e¤ects are negligible and long-run rebound e¤ects are considerable; both, however, are signi…cantly less than the theoretical results in Saunders (2000a,b) and Wei (2007).

“…However, Saunders'analyses implicitly ignore the constraints of limited energy supply in the market by assuming constant energy prices. Wei (2007) notices this drawback in the theory and introduces a theoretical general equilibrium model to internalize the energy price, using production functions of the Cobb-Douglas form. However, this speci…c Cobb-Douglas functional form restricts the interpretive power of the general equilibrium analysis.…”

“…First, the Cobb-Douglas production function is used to determine the contribution level of electricity utilization to GDP in each province. Following the literature [107][108][109][110][111], this paper introduced energy consumption into the Cobb-Douglas production function as a production factor, and referencing the data processing approaching of Lin [105], this paper uses electricity consumption to proxy for energy consumption. Therefore, the Cobb-Douglas production function of province i, which take labor (L i ), capital (K i ) and electricity consumption (E ui ) as production factors, is:…”

Modeling Interprovincial Cooperative Energy Saving in China: An Electricity Utilization Perspective

et al. 2018

Abstract:As the world faces great challenges from climate change and environmental pollution, China urgently requires energy saving, emission reduction, and carbon reduction programmes. However, the non-cooperative energy saving model (NCESM), the simple regulation mode that is China's main model for energy saving, is not beneficial for optimization of energy and resource distribution, and cannot effectively motivate energy saving at the provincial level. Therefore, we propose an interprovincial cooperative energy saving model (CESM) from the perspective of electricity utilization, with the object of maximizing the benefits from electricity utilization of the cooperation union based on achieving the energy saving goals of the union as a whole. The CESM consists of two parts: (1) an optimization model that calculates the optimal quantities of electricity consumption for each participating province to meet the joint energy saving goal; and (2) a model that distributes the economic benefits of the cooperation among the provinces in the cooperation based on the Shapley value method. We applied the CESM to the case of an interprovincial union of Shanghai, Sichuan, Shanxi, and Gansu in China. The results, based on the data from 2001-2014, show that cooperation can significantly increase the benefits of electricity utilization for each province in the union. The total benefits of the union from utilization of electricity increased 38.38%, or 353.98 billion CNY, while the benefits to Shanghai, Sichuan, Shanxi, and Gansu were 200.28, 58.37, 57.11, and 38.22 billion CNY respectively greater under the CESM than the NCESM. The implementation of the CESM provides the provincial governments not only a flexible and incentive way to achieve short-term goals, but also a feasible and effective path to realize long-term energy saving strategies. To test the impact of different parameter values on the results of the CESM, a sensitivity analysis was conducted. Some policy recommendations are made at the central government level and the provincial government level to promote the implementation of the CESM.
