ABSTRACT: Unbalanced development in term as
industrial structure and the efficiency use of energy have aggravated
environmental pollution to different degrees resulting in the increase of
range, time and degree of fog-haze. This, in turn, forced the government to carry
out supply-side reforms, to improve energy efficiency and optimize the
industrial structure to weaken the environmental pollution. To tackle these
problems, this work provides an index system for the issues related to fog-haze,
uses a non-linear ST-SVAR model to reflect the effects of industrial structure
and energy use efficiency on fog-haze. Results indicated that: First, current
industrial structure and energy use efficiency have greater impact on the
comprehensive equation of fog-haze risk than itself. With the passage of time,
this influence is still gradually expanding. Second, the equations of
industrial structure and energy use efficiency are strongly influenced by
themselves, and other variables as the current period have less impact on them.
Finally, the non-linear or asymmetric relationship is shown among industrial structure, energy use efficiency, and the fog-haze
comprehensive risk equation.
