Energy Utilization Efficiency of China Considering Carbon Emissions—Based on Provincial Panel Data

With the development of economy, environmental pollution caused by energy consumption has become increasingly prominent. Improving efficiency utilization is an important way to solve this problem. Firstly, we used a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model calculate China’s provinces and regions from perspective constraints, including four inputs—labor force, capital stock, carbon emission—and one output, GDP. Secondly, entity fixed effect panel was built investigate influence openness, urbanization, marketization industrial structure on in process economic change. The results indicate that shows trend first stabilizing then declining 2007 2017. Meanwhile, comprehensive all not very ideal. Only Beijing, Shanghai Guangdong constitute forefront efficiency. lack pure technical most main reason for low efficiency, but there are also obvious differences among regions. In addition, openness have negative impact while significant positive Finally, based regional differences, some suggestions were put forward improve
