Though voluminous empirical studies examine the linkage between energy consumption (EC) and economic growth, the impact of human capital on EC is scarce. This paper investigates this research issue by using annual data of 73 countries over the period 1990–2014. Furthermore, we classify 73 countries based on income (developed, developing and emerging economies) and regions (Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America). The empirical results indicate that human capital negatively affects EC. This implies that EC can be lowered by improving human capital, which ultimately can help in energy conservation and environmental protection. Policies promoting substitutability between energy inputs and human capital, and structural policies like improving economic efficiency and improving human capital through educational levels can help economies in achieving greater sustainable growth with low EC.

研究人力资本与能源消耗之间的联系:跨国证据

尽管大量的实证研究研究了能源消耗(EC)与经济增长之间的联系,但人力资本对EC的影响却很少。本文通过使用1990-2014年期间73个国家的年度数据来调查此研究问题。此外,我们根据收入(发达,发展中和新兴经济体)和地区(亚洲,非洲,欧洲和拉丁美洲)对73个国家/地区进行了分类。实证结果表明,人力资本对电子商务产生了负面影响。这意味着可以通过提高人力资本来降低成本,这最终可以帮助节约能源和环境保护。促进能源投入与人力资本之间可替代性的政策,
