Replication Data for: Moderating effect of fossil energy dependence on the mediating effect of financial development on CO2 emissions: Evidence from China's provincial panel data

Panel data for 30 Chinese provinces (i.e., excluding Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Tibet) from 2000 to 2017 comprise the basic data set for this paper. We use province-level data since provinces are the most important economic unit in China and they are the executors of the central government's regional policies. Data for the stocks of 13 major fossil fuels for each province were obtained from the China Energy Statistical Yearbook (2000-2017). Data for other variables are from provincial statistical yearbooks.
