Unveiling China's household CO2 emissions with disaggregated energy sectors: An affinity-propagation multi-regional input-output model

Although much research has focused on CO2 emissions driven by household consumption, significant challenges remain in capturing complex regional variations and the indirect contributions of disaggregated energy sectors and different income groups. In this study, an affinity-propagation multi-regional input-output (AP-MRIO) model is developed through incorporating Dagum Gini coefficient (DGC) and affinity propagation (AP) clustering within a …
