China’s thermal power industry total factor energy efficiency and its convergence
ABSTRACT:
Resources and environmental pressures which China’s
sustained economic growth would face have become the focus of attention of the
government and the community. It is more prominent in the thermal power
industry, with high energy consumption and high pollution. Based on the
DEA-Malm quist productivity index, considered environmental impact during
2000~2008, this paper has surveyed 30 provinces’ total factor energy
efficiency, the technology progress, and the technology efficiency index. The
results demonstrate that TFP of overall China grew slowly and the impact of its
economic level and resource conditions in each region was obvious. Furthermore,
the paper analyzes the TFP trend and the main reason of it. Through the
convergence analysis of overall China and three major areas, there is no s convergence, but absolute
b and conditional b convergence in the whole
country, while in each area, there is only b
convergence.
