摘　　要：环境库兹涅茨曲线假设是发展与环保间关系的代表性理论,现有研究相对忽视了微观消费端视角下环境库兹涅茨曲线的形状和机制。本研究基于3321份浙江省居民碳足迹调查问卷数据,对浙江省微观消费端环境库兹涅茨曲线形状进行检验;同时对环境质量需求收入弹性理论进行拓展,在区分发展型生活方式和绿色型生活方式的基础上,将两者作为中介变量,探究收入对居民碳足迹的作用机制。研究发现:①在微观消费端,浙江省居民收入与碳足迹之间尚未形成“倒U型”环境库兹涅茨曲线,居民收入与碳足迹之间呈现显著的正向关系,随着收入增长,居民碳足迹呈现出持续增长的态势。②收入增长能通过促进居民形成发展型生活方式增加居民碳足迹。③绿色型生活方式能有效降低居民碳足迹,但收入增长不能通过促进居民形成绿色型生活方式降低居民碳足迹。④居民感知到的环境质量越好、对环境保护的态度越积极,环境知识储备越充足,就越容易形成绿色型生活方式。本研究作为环境库兹涅茨曲线研究微观消费端的补充,对环境质量需求收入弹性理论进行了拓展和检验,并为“双碳”目标的达成提供了政策启示。The Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)hypothesis is a representative theoretical framework that explores the intricate relationship between economic development and environmental quality.Despite its significance,existing literature has often neglected to explore the shape and mechanisms of the Environmental Kuznets Curve from a micro-consumption perspective.This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the shape of the Environmental Kuznets Curve within Zhejiang province,based the data derived from the Resident Carbon Footprint Survey.In addition to analyzing shape of the Environmental Kuznets Curve,this paper expands upon the theory of income elasticity of demand for environmental quality by incorporating two mediating variables:developmental lifestyle and green lifestyle.This approach facilitates an examination of how variations in income levels influence residents'carbon footprints.This paper reveals the following:(1)From the micro-consumption perspective,no"inverted U-shaped"Environmental Kuznets Curve has been observed between residents'income and their carbon footprints in Zhejiang province.Instead,a significant positive relationship is identified,wherein residents'carbon footprints increase as income rises.(2)Income growth increases residents'carbon footprints by promoting the adoption of developmental lifestyle,which aimed at enhancing quality of life and enriching oneself through an expansion of consumer categories and an upgrade of consumption structures in daily.(3)While green lifestyle,which aimed to reduce resource consumption and pollution through forming a preference for low-carbon products and cultivating habits of resource conservation,effectively reduces residents'carbon footprints,income growth does not lead to a reduction in carbon footprints through the promotion of green lifestyle.The findings suggest that income growth does not inherently foster the adoption of green lifestyle;rather,individuals who adopt green lifestyle often do so based on factors beyond mere economic considerations
