The Impacts of Technology: A Re-Evaluation of the STIRPAT Model

Environmental Sociology, 2015
The STochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology (STIRPAT) model has become a widely employed methodological approach within social science research, largely used to understand the complex relationships between human social systems and the non-human environment.

Technological Change and the Rebound Effect in the STIRPAT Model: A Critical View

Energy Policy, 2019
Abstract Technological change is key to understand the explanatory variables behind environmental impacts in the context of the STIRPAT (Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology) model. An adequate representation and analysis of the significance of the technology variable (T) in the STIRPAT model becomes crucial, even ...

Analyzing Impact Factors of CO2 Emissions Using the STIRPAT Model

Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2006
Abstract Using the STIRPAT model, this paper analyzes the impact of population, affluence and technology on the total CO 2 emissions of countries at different income levels over the period 1975–2000. Our main results show at the global level that economic growth has the greatest impact on CO 2 emissions, and the proportion of the population between

Analyzing extended STIRPAT model of urbanization and CO2 emissions in Asian countries

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
CO2 emissions tend to increase more rapidly in underdeveloped economies as compared to developed countries mainly in China, India, and Asia. One of the aspects that accounts for the increasing CO2 emissions is urbanization (UR) and it is increasing all over the world particularly in Asian and African regions.

What STIRPAT Tells About Effects of Population and Affluence on the Environment?

Ecological Economics, 2011
Abstract In the literature on the application of STIRPAT to environmental impacts of population and affluence, the parameter estimates differ from study to study. One example is the effect of population size on CO 2 emissions, which is concluded to be very close to 1 in some studies (e.g., York et al., 2003) while far from 1 in others (e.g., Shi ...

Analysis of the environmental impact of China based on STIRPAT model

Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2009
Abstract Assuming that energy consumption is the main source of GHG emissions in China, this paper analyses the effect of population, urbanisation level, GDP per capita, industrialisation level and energy intensity on the country's environmental impact using the STIRPAT model with data for 1978–2006. The analysis shows that population has the largest

The Strategy of a Low-Carbon Economy Based on the STIRPAT and SD Models

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2015
Abstract With the rapid development of certain nations' economies, CO 2 emissions have become a major concern worldwide. Controlling and stabilizing CO 2 emissions is the primary goal of a low carbon society. The STIRPAT model aims to find the driving forces that contribute to carbon emissions, while the SD model is one of the decision-making tools

Reexamining the Relationship Between Urbanization and Pollutant Emissions in China Based on the STIRPAT Model

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
Understanding the relationship between urbanization and pollutant emissions in China is of great significance to realizing sustainable development. Previous studies focused on the relationship between urbanization and air pollutants in China. However, the relationship between urbanization and industrial or domestic pollutants remains unclear.

Study on energy consumption of hotel based on extended STIRPAT model

2016 Chinese Control and Decision Conference (CCDC), 2016
Energy consumption of hotel can be a hot topic in smart city. To find the key impact factors of energy consumption to realize the energy saving target. This paper examined the impact factors of occupancy rate, unit area of revenue, temperature factor and unit revenue of energy consumption.

Waste Generation Flows and Tourism Growth: A STIRPAT Model for Mallorca

Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2016
Summary Several studies have examined the relationship between environmental degradation and population growth. However, most of them do not take into account the difference between local population and tourist arrivals, which is considerably important for mature tourist destinations.
