內(nèi)容提要:
This lecture introduces the impact of retirement on carbon emissions, using China's compulsory retirement age policy as an exogenous source of variation. By applying a regression discontinuity design (RDD) to individual-level data, research identify a "green retirement" effect, where retirees reduce their carbon emissions due to income declines and changes in consumption behavior. For men, this reduction primarily stems from a decrease in consumption quantity, while for women, both a reduction in quantity and a shift toward more environmentally friendly consumption play a role. The effect is more pronounced among individuals with higher educational attainment, indicating that socioeconomic factors influence the environmental impact of retirement. These results suggest that demographic shifts could support sustainability efforts by aligning retirement policies with environmental goals.
本講座通過(guò)中國(guó)法定退休年齡政策的外生沖擊,探討退休對(duì)碳排放的影響。研究基于微觀個(gè)體數(shù)據(jù)運(yùn)用斷點(diǎn)回歸設(shè)計(jì)(RDD)揭示了退休群體因收入下降與消費(fèi)行為轉(zhuǎn)變產(chǎn)生的"綠色退休"效應(yīng):男性減排主要源于消費(fèi)數(shù)量縮減,女性則兼具消費(fèi)量下降與環(huán)保型消費(fèi)結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)變的雙重機(jī)制。該效應(yīng)在受教育程度較高群體中更為顯著,表明社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)因素調(diào)節(jié)著退休的環(huán)境影響。研究證實(shí),將退休政策與環(huán)境目標(biāo)協(xié)同設(shè)計(jì),人口結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)型或可為可持續(xù)發(fā)展提供新路徑。
