2021年8月23日，团队中博士一年级研究生李桥鸽有关“Energy Poverty and Subjective Well-being in China: New Evidence from the China Family Panel Studies”的合作研究被能源经济学领域权威期刊Energy Economics (IF=7.042, JCR Q1)接收。该研究为团队与德国霍恩海姆大学Alfonso Sousa-Poza教授进一步开展的合作研究，首次综合考察了我国能源贫困的现状和能源贫困对居民主观幸福感(抑郁和生活满意度)的影响，以及二者潜在的作用机制。该研究得到国家自然科学基金项目(grant numbers 71804142;72074178)和西安交通大学青年拔尖人才计划资助。
Abstract
Using the 2012-2018 waves of the China Family Panel Studies, we investigate the impact of energy poverty (EP) on subjective well-being (SWB) among Chinese adults aged 18 and over. In addition to documenting EP rates in the range of 13.2% to 35.3% (dependent on measurement used), we show that EP leads to higher levels of depression. These results are robust to both alternative EP and SWB measures and to a series of estimation approaches that control for endogeneity. Structural equation modelling of the underlying mechanisms shows that individual self-reported health and household food expenditure mediate the EP-SWB relation.
