The Impact of State-Owned Economic Energy Investment on Regional Growth Potential--From the Perspective of Segmented Sectors and Mechanisms

This paper focuses on the impact of fixed-asset investment in the energy sector of the state-owned economy on regional growth potential. Based on panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2022, it systematically explores the mechanism and importance of investment in different energy sub-sectors using methods such as the CatBoost regression model, robustness tests, mediating effect analysis, and heterogeneity analysis. It provides a scientific basis for optimizing the structure of state-owned energy investment and promoting sustainable regional economic development. The paper suggests focusing on core sectors such as oil and gas extraction and power supply, smoothing the industrial structure transmission channel, implementing differentiated regional strategies, and improving supporting systems.
