Title: The influencing mechanism of population aging and sub-replacement fertility on carbon efficiency：an empirical analysis based European Economic Area
Abstract: Europe is trapping in serious population aging and sub-replacement fertility condition nowadays, and facing challenges in the aspect of economic growth and carbon emissions. Aging rate and fertility rate prove to be connected with economic growth and carbon emissions, though the relationship is debatable. Related research has rarely focused on carbon efficiency, and ignored the spatial relationship and specific mechanism between aging rate, fertility rate and carbon efficiency. Thus, this paper studies the influence mechanism of aging and fertility rate on carbon efficiency from two perspectives: population flow and technological innovation. The dynamic spatial Durbin model combined with multi-level and multivariate mediation analysis is used to test the data of 29 countries in the European Economic Area from 1998 to 2021. The results show: 1) The effects of both aging rate and fertility rate on carbon efficiency are nonlinear (U-shaped); 2) Technological innovation, immigration and emigration are the mediators of the relationship between aging rate, fertility rate and carbon efficiency, and there are 2 paths; 3) Carbon efficiency, technological innovation, immigration and emigration have snowball and spillover effects that the situation of previous period will significantly affect the performance of the next period, and that of a local region will promote the performance of adjacent countries. The results refresh the EKC theory, and helps policymakers develop feasible policies to achieve the goals in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Paris Agreement.
