基于投入产出方法的中国居民虚拟水消费研究

居民在消费商品或服务的过程中,即在消费隐含其中的虚拟水,并且虚拟水的消费量远大于实物形态的水的消耗。不同消费模式对水资源的需求差异很大。文章借助投入产出方法计算了2002年中国各省及城乡居民的虚拟水消费情况,并分析了造成虚拟水消费差距的原因。结果表明,人均虚拟水消费量省际间及城乡间差异显著,基本是发达地区高于欠发达地区,城镇高于农村;每万元消费的虚拟水含量省际间及城乡间也有所不同,基本是欠发达地区高于发达地区,农村高于城镇。分析认为,消费水平和消费结构是造成这种差异的根本原因。

Analysis of Domestic Virtual Water Consumption in China:Based on Input-Output Method

Virtual water consumption happens when residents use goods or services.People's demand for water varies greatly according to different consumption patterns.We calculated the virtual water consumption of China's provinces and the virtual water consumption of urban and rural residents of each province,using the input-output method.The results showed that per capita consumption of virtual water had significant differences between provinces as well as between urban and rural areas of each province.Generally,per...
