Spatial effects and transmission mechanism of carbon emissions from interprovincial logistics industry in China
The logistics industry is the third largest carbon emission source after the industry and construction industry in China.Studying the spatial effects and transmission mechanism of resource elements related to inter-provincial logistics can provide a scientific basis for the low-carbon transformation development of the logistics industry.GeoDa software was used to analyze the spatial-temporal correlation and the volatility of local spatial differences in carbon emissions from the logistics industry in 30 provinces from 2013 to 2020.STIRPAT model and EKC model were combined to explore the spatial effects of influencing factors on carbon emissions from the logistics industry in China and clarify the transmission mechanism.The results showed that the carbon emissions of China's logistics industry presented the spatial distribution characteristics of"high in the east and low in the west".The dual structure of carbon emission concentration distribution in the provincial logistics industry was obvious,showing the spatial distribution characteristics of"high-high"and"low-low"concentration.The carbon emission of China's inter-provincial logistics industry had the characteristics of spatial spillover.The influencing factors that positively promoted the carbon emission of the logistics industry in the region from strong to weak were energy consumption,industrial scale,and infrastructure of the logistics industry,and the factors that havd a positive impact on the carbon emission of the logistics industry in the adjacent areas were infrastructure of the logistics industry;under both direct and indirect effects,logistics infrastructure had a significant positive impact on carbon emissions,while the industrial scale and energy consumption of logistics had a positive impact on carbon emissions only under direct effects.The spatial agglomeration of carbon emissions and the formation and evolution of regional differences in China's logistics industry were the result of the synergistic effect of various logistics resource factors such as the industrial scale,energy consumption and infrastructure of the inter-provincial logistics industry.Accordingly,the suggestion of"collaborative carbon reduction"is put forward to promote the low-carbon transformation of China's logistics industry.
