The nonlinear association between high-speed rail expansion and carbon emissions in China: an empirical analysis from theoretical-driven model to data-driven approach
Puntos clave
Carbon emissions are significantly affected by high-speed rail expansion in China, showing a nonlinear trend.
A key metric revealed a complex relationship, with varying impacts observed across different regions.
Observational analysis employing both theoretical and data-driven approaches to understand emissions dynamics.
Findings emphasize the need for policy adjustments to manage the environmental impact of rail infrastructure expansion.
