摘　　要：随着城镇化的推进和收入水平的提升,家庭能源消费在中国能源消费体系中占比不断增加,推进家庭能源消费低碳化转型成为中国如期实现“双碳”目标的重要途径之一。注意力资源的配置是影响经济主体行为决策的重要因素,近年来公众气候关注的显著上升可能成为推动家庭能源消费低碳化转型的重要力量。基于中国家庭能源消费调查数据和百度搜索指数,实证考察了公众气候关注对家庭能源消费结构的影响。研究发现,公众气候关注显著提高了优质能源在家庭能源消费中的比重,促进了家庭能源消费结构低碳化转型。这种转型主要源于家庭的“主动式参与”,而非“引导式参与”。机制检验发现,公众气候关注主要是通过改变个体气候变化态度、增强个体气候问题认知及其低碳责任意识,从而驱动家庭主动改善能源消费结构。异质性分析发现,公众气候关注对家庭能源消费结构的影响在受教育程度较高的家庭、公职人员家庭中更为显著。从社会环境来看,积极的社会参照规范可以正向调节公众气候关注与家庭能源消费结构之间的关系。本文为从家庭视角加快建立健全绿色低碳循环发展的经济体系提供重要参考。With the advancement of urbanization and the improvement of income level,household energy consumption accounts for an increasing proportion in China’s energy consumption system.Low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption has become an indispensible way for China to achieve the“dual carbon”goal as scheduled.The allocation of attention resources is an important factor affecting the decisionmaking behavior of economic agents,so the significant rise of public climate concern in recent years may become a major force to promote the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption.This paper empirically investigates the impact of public climate concern on household energy consumption structure using data from the Chinese Residential Energy Consumption Survey and Baidu search index.The results show that public climate concern significantly increases the proportion of high-quality energy in household energy consumption,promoting the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption structure,which mainly results from the active participation of households rather than the guided participation.Mechanism testing reveals that public climate concern mainly stimulates the internal motivation of households to improve their energy consumption structure by altering individual climate attitudes,enhancing individuals’awareness of climate issues and low-carbon responsibility.The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of public climate concern on household energy consumption structure is more significant among households with higher levels of education and households of public officials.From the perspective of social environment,positive social norms can positively moderate the relationship between public climate concern and household energy consumption structure.The study provides an important reference for accelerating the establishment of green,low-carbon economic system from the perspective of household.
