Abstract

This paper uses fixed-effects SFA (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) model to measure the total-factor energy efficiency of Chinese 34 industries during the period of 1998–2015 and then investigates the influence of industrial agglomeration on energy efficiency. It is found that industrial agglomeration has a negative effect on energy efficiency but it becomes smaller. Moreover, the energy consumption structure, measured by cola share, is negatively correlated with energy efficiency, and the ownership structure, measured by SOEs (state-owned enterprises) share, is proved to be negatively affecting the energy efficiency. These results suggest that the government should guide the industrial parks to reduce energy consumption with more strict environmental regulations, as well as switch to cleaner energy and deepen the reform of SOEs in the future.
