ABSTRACT

In the following paragraphs, we first outline the methods that are used in this paper, accompanied by a description of influence factors and the data sources in section 2. Second, we employ some analytic tools, which allow us to refine the interpretation of the contribution value and rate in LMDI model, and the coefficients of STIRPAT model, which could improve our understanding about how these factors affect the carbon intensity. Third, we discuss what we can find from LMDI model and STIRPAT model, then deciphering them in Section 4 as well as making our conclusion.
