A Study On The Impact Of Housing Conditions On Carbon Emissions From Household Consumption

At present,climate warming has become the most serious climate problem facing mankind.Existing studies have shown that carbon emissions from human daily household activities are one of the important factors affecting climate warming.As a responsible population country,China has always been committed to environmental protection under the environment of global warming,and has made achievements in carbon emission reduction.At present,the economic income of the residents in our country is increasing,and the consumption of resources is also rising.According to previous studies,the research level of carbon emissions consumed by residents is relatively macro,most of which are studied at the national and provincial levels.From the published papers of academic circles,in the study of carbon emissions,Few scholars study from the micro perspective of household carbon emissions.At the same time," home " plays a special and important role in Chinese thinking,and the difference of family housing status is to a large extent the result of residents’ natural choice of residence.And housing purchasing power is often restricted by income level and housing price.There is also a lack of comprehensive research on household housing status,among which the household housing status is an important factor in the total number of carbon emissions.This paper,based on the STIRPAT model,uses the 2016 Chinese household dynamic tracking survey data(CFPS)to quantitatively analyze the impact of household housing conditions on carbon emissions from different household consumption.The results show that:(1)The household housing situation has a significant impact on the carbon emissions of household consumption with different characteristics,and a reasonable household structure can effectively control the carbon emissions of household consumption.Per capita living area is negatively correlated with household consumption carbon emissions,and residential grade,house price income ratio and household consumption carbon emissions are positively correlated.Households with self-use housing consume less carbon emissions than households with rental or rental housing;households with higher residential levels consume more carbon emissions.Residential expenditure accounts for the largest proportion of household consumption,housing prices rise,household consumption carbon emissions increase,that is,to promote the role.From the control variables,the per capita income,transfer income and household consumption carbon emissions are positively correlated,and the dependency ratio is significantly negatively correlated with household consumption carbon emissions.The higher the household income,the better the social welfare,the greater the carbon emission of household consumption;the higher the dependency ratio,the greater the carbon emission of household consumption.(2)There are differences in the expenditure of different types of household financial consumption in different regions of the country: clothing,shoes and hats,food,transportation and communication,health care,housing,culture,education and entertainment,household equipment and daily necessities,and other consumer spending,all of which are at the highest level in East China.Clothing,shoes,hats and food expenditure Northwest China households have the lowest per capita carbon emissions.Living expenses are the lowest in Central China;transportation and communication expenses,household equipment and daily necessities are the lowest in Northeast China;medical and health care expenditure,cultural and educational entertainment expenditure and other consumer expenditure are the lowest in Southwest China.In general,all kinds of household financial consumption carbon emissions are in the highest position in East China,while the northwest,southwest and northeast regions,all kinds of household financial carbon emissions are relatively low.(3)On the basis of various research methods,such as literature review and model analysis,this paper puts forward the following policy suggestions according to the conclusions: First,to improve the housing supply security system:(1)to optimize the supply and effectively increase the per capita living area;(2)to provide high-quality housing supply and beautify the living environment;(3)to adjust the housing price-income ratio according to local conditions;(4)to improve the housing accumulation fund system to ensure the rigid demand for housing;Second,take differentiated emission reduction measures;Third,adjust the rationalization of household consumption structure;Fourth,guide the public to establish the concept of green consumption.The results of this paper help to improve the theoretical analysis model of the influence factors of family consumption,reasonably construct the research system,encourage relevant policy makers to pay attention to the impact of housing situation on family consumption,and provide reference for targeted family consumption carbon reduction countermeasures based on different family housing conditions.
