This paper analyzes urban population’s and affluence’s (GDP per capita’s) influence on environmental impact in developed and developing countries by taking as its starting point the STIRPAT framework. In addition to considering environmental impacts particularly influenced by population and affluence (carbon emissions from transport and residential electricity consumption), the paper determines...

Issues concerning which factors that influence carbon dioxide emission, and which administrative measures should be imposed to reduce carbon emission in Chinese cities, have been on the agenda in cities’ policy-making. Yet little literature has studied this topic from the city level. This paper first measures CO2 emission of 73 Chinese cities. We find heterogeneity embedded in the cross-city di...

The extended Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology (STIRPAT) model has been applied to analyzing the relationship between CO2 emissions from power industry and the influential factors for the period from 1997 to 2020. The two groups found through partial least square (PLS) regularity test show two important areas for CO2 emissions reduction from the power indu...

Energy crisis and environmental pollution have become major challenges in China’s economic development, which has triggered the demand for alternative energy sources and promoted the popularization of ground source heat pump technology. A ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a central heating and/or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground. It uses the earth as a heat source (in th...

Using carbon dioxide as a surrogate measure of various environmental impacts, this paper analyses the effects of anthropogenic factors on CO2 emissions in India. The paper uses the STIRPAT model with data for 1960-2007. The results show that urbanisation has the largest potential negative effects on the environment, followed by population, service sector, industrial sector and GDP per capita. W...

This study measured the lifecycle carbon emissions of buildings in 30 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2020 and decomposed drivers materialization stage operation building, respectively, using Stochastic Impacts with Regression on Population, Affluence, Technology (STIRPAT) model order investigate their spatial influence effects building sector. The Durbin (SDM) was used thoroughly sector under g...

Global warming has brought increased attention to the relationship between carbon emissions and economic development. Research on the driving factors of carbon emissions from energy consumption can provide a scientific basis for regional energy savings, as well as emissions reduction and sustainable development. Henan Province is a major agricultural province in China, and it is one of most pop...

This paper examines the relationship between CO2 emissions in three economic sectors of G20 member countries using environmental IPAT model and STIRPAT validates EKC hypothesis by comparing results for developing developed countries. The confirm that there is a significant long-run equilibrium (primary, secondary, tertiary) across panel. Furthermore, elasticities suggest primary sector (agricul...

This article examines the causes of air pollution while paying particular attention to effects fossil fuel use in electricity generation. Dietz and Roza's (1994) STIRPAT model, which is a reformulated version IPAT was used. The data includes 20 countries with highest CO2 emission levels covers years 1991 2015. According empirical results this article, increases population GDP per capita are fol...
