| As a major energy consumer and large carbon emission country,China’s energy consumption and carbon emissions have attracted worldwide attention.With the rapid development of the social economy and the improvement of the living standards of residents,people’s consumption demand for high energy-consuming products has increased year by year.Consumption is not only the basic demand and ultimate goal of human activities,but also the engine of economic growth.So scientists do the measurement of residents carbon emissions and analyze the influencing factors and development trends,which would have an important theoretical significance for government scientific decision-making.The Northeast area was known as the industrial cradle of China.But its energy conservation and emission reduction target have not yet been achieved.What’s worse,the resources are exhausted and the ecological environment is seriously damaged.It obstructs the target achievement of energy saving and emission reduction in the northeast three provinces because of its typical cold character,annual longer heating period and the higher coal consumption.Therefore,making the study of carbon emissions from residents in the northeast three provinces will be conducive to the improvement of the implementation mechanism of energy conservation and emission reduction policies.Firstly,based on the analysis of the current situation of resident energy consumption in the northeast three provinces,the paper utilized the carbon emission coefficient method,the input-output model and the improved input-output model to calculate the direct and indirect carbon emissions from residents’ consumption of three provinces in the northeastern China.And the paper analyzed the four distinct levels of results.Secondly,the LMDI decomposition model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors and influencing degree of direct and indirect carbon emissions of residents’ consumption,and to make comparative analysis from energy intensity,economic level,urban and rural structure,population size factors and consumption structure.The conclusions were as follows:(1)From 2005 to 2015,the direct carbon emissions of residents’ consumption in the northeast three provinces showed an overall growth trend.The direct carbon emission of Jilin Province was the lowest in the three provinces.Liaoning Province’s residents’ direct carbon emission was higher than that of Heilongjiang Province except the year of 2010,2011 and 2013.The indirect carbon emission of household consumption was also increasing.Jilin Province’s indirect carbon emission was also the lowest in the three provinces.Liaoning Province was the highest indirect carbon emission province in the three provinces.(2)The growth of the indirect carbon emissions from residents’ consumption was the main reason for the rise of residents’ carbon emissions.The household carbon emissions in the northeast three provinces had increased year by year,and became a major part of total carbon emissions.So in order to cut down the carbon emissions,we cannot ignore the residents’ carbon emissions,especially the carbon emissions of urban residents.(3)The factors affecting the direct carbon emissions of residents in the three northeast provinces were:energy structure,energy intensity,economic level,urban-rural structure and population size.The factor that significantly inhibited direct carbon emission’s growth was energy intensity.The factor that obviously promoted growth was the economic level.The factors affecting the indirect carbon emissions of residents in the three northeast provinces were:energy structure,energy intensity,consumption structure,economic level,urban-rural structure and population size.The factors that clearly promoted indirect carbon emission’s growth were economic level and consumption structure,and the factors that inhibited growth were different.Liaoning Province and Heilongjiang Province were energy structure,while Jilin Province were energy intensity. |
