Technology Adoption and Aggregate Energy Efficiency
Improved technology is often cited as a means to alter the otherwise difficult trade-off between the economic burden of regulation and environmental damage. Focusing on energy-saving technologies that mitigate the threat of climate change, we find that both energy prices and financial health influence technology adoption among a sample of industrial plants in four heavily polluting sectors. Bas...
متن کاملMeasurement and Analysis of Logistics Energy Efficiency in China from Perspective of Total Factor Productivity
Based on data envelopment analysis model (DEA), this paper constructs a measure function of logistics energy efficiency. Using provincial panel data from 2003 to 2009, it measures logistics energy efficiency in China from perspective of total factor productivity and analyzes the dynamic changes and regional disparity of logistics energy efficiency. The results show that, (1) the average growth ...
متن کاملInformation, Misallocation and Aggregate Productivity
We explore the implications of imperfect information about firm-level fundamentals for the misallocation of factors of production across heterogeneous firms and the consequences for aggregate productivity and output. In our setup, firms learn from both private sources and stock market prices, the latter determined in a noisy rational expectations model of asset markets. We devise a novel calibr...
متن کاملNonparametric measurement of productivity and efficiency in education
Nondiscretionary environmental inputs are critical in explaining relative efficiency differences and productivity changes in public sector applications. For example, the literature on education production shows that school districts perform better when student poverty is lower. In this paper, we extend the nonparametric approach to decompose Malmquist productivity index suggested by Färe et al....
متن کاملIndia’s Pulp and Paper Industry: Productivity and Energy Efficiency
ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank Joyashree Roy, Ernst Worrell, Puran Mongia, and Marta Khrushch for their valuable assistance and comments on previous drafts of this paper. Abstract Historical estimates of productivity growth in India's pulp and paper sector vary from indicating an improvement to a decline in the sector's productivity. The variance may be traced to the time p...
