Responsibility Accounting and Driving Factors for Carbon Emissions on Energy-Supply and Energy-Consumption Sides:An Examination from the Perspective of "Income Responsibility"
In the context of vigorously promoting"carbon peak and carbon neutrality",the scientificity of the carbon accounting system is crucial for the reasonable definition of carbon reduction responsibilities.This paper,employing the Ghosh input-output model,calculates and analyzes the carbon emissions in the provinces of the energy-supply side and those of the energy-consumption side in China from the perspective of"responsibility of income recipients",and examines the driving factors behind these emissions.The results indicate that in terms of overall change,both provinces of the energy-supply side and energy-consumption side show an increase in carbon emissions from the perspective of"responsibility of income recipients".Regarding dynamic evolution,carbon emissions in the provinces of energy-consumption side exhibit a significant tendency towards convergence,while those of energy-supply side show weak gradient and differentiation effects.In terms of responsibility differences,the provinces of energy-supply side bear a greater carbon emissions responsibility.In terms of industry intensity,carbon emissions from industrial sectors in the provinces of energy-consumption side are significantly less intensive.Regarding network structure,the carbon emissions network from the"responsibility of income recipients"perspective generally exhibits a"core-periphery"characteristic.Finally,in terms of driving factors,scale effect is the primary factor leading to the growth of carbon emissions in both the energy-supply and energy-consumption sides,while technological effect is the key driving force for reducing carbon emissions in these regions.
