Decomposing inequality in energy-related CO2 emissions by source and source increment: The roles of production and residential consumption

Using provincial data on energy-related CO2 emissions in China from 1997 to 2014 and the CO2 emission Gini coefficient (CEG), this study evaluates China's spatial inequality in energy-related CO2 emissions. Further, we decompose this inequality and its variation from the perspectives of production and residential energy consumption, using the source decomposition and source increment decomposition methods. This paper presents a new CEG source...
