Effects of straw’s comprehensive utilization-technology on agricultural carbon emission in Jiangsu Province
Straw resources are abundant in Jiangsu province, the utilization and burning of straw is an important problem in agriculture carbon emission reduction. In order to analyze the effect of straw’s comprehensive utilization technology on agricultural carbon emission, the STIRPAT model is introduced, which takes straw utilization technology as the core explanatory variable while other influencing factors as control variables, and the ridge regression is adopted to conduct an empirical analysis on the influencing factors of agricultural carbon emission in Jiangsu province from 2008 to 2018. The results demonstrate that for every 1% increasing of straw’s comprehensive utilization technology, agriculture carbon emission will be reduced by 0.17%; the labor force is the biggest driver of agriculture carbon emissions; agriculture economic development, energy consumption takes a certain inhibitory effect on agriculture carbon emissions, but not very great.
