This study estimates the elasticities of substitution for China from 1953 to 2006 by the two-level constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function with three factor inputs: capital stock, labor and energy. A technological change rate and non-constant returns to scale are under considered.

READ MOREThis also allows for the estimation of energy-capital substitutability, which arguably reflects the likely ease/disruption to long-term growth arising from policy measures aimed at reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions. The estimated results show that energy efficiency gains range from −14% to 13% for sampled countries.
READ MOREThe analysis examines energy efficiency gains in selected OPEC countries during 1972–2010. • Capital-energy substitutability is also explored to analyze the impact of policy measures to reduce energy use. • The magnitudes of energy efficiency gains are somewhat small or modest.

Previous studies that examine the environmental impact of HSR primarily focus on whether HSR cities observe reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution (Sun et al., 2020). For example, Lin et al., 2021a, Lin et al., 2021b find that HSR cities have less regional carbon emissions than
