Research of the Impact of Neighboring Countries'Policy Preferences on Their Energy Cooperation With China——Based on the PLS-SEM Model
This article constructs a logical chain of"decision makers→cooperation policy preferences→final cooperation policy preferences→energy trade and investment cooperation"from the stages of policy formulation and implementation.By utilizing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling(PLS-SEM)model,it analyzes the mediating effects of the final cooperation policy preferences and the moder-ating effects of cross-level factors.The cooperation policy preferences between decision makers of neigh-boring countries and the final cooperation policy preferences show a general coordination in fossil fuel ener-gy cooperation,but exhibit a mismatch in renewable energy cooperation.In terms of cross-level factors,factors such as competition among major geopolitical powers,dependence on trade with China,government governance level,cultural identification with China,and immediate emotional responses of social entities towards China play a significant moderating role in influencing policy preferences and energy cooperation between neighboring countries and China.
