Empirical Study On Evaluation And Determinants Of Shandong Energy Saving And Emission Reduction Efficiency

Energy and Environmental issues have long been the focus of countries in the world. Energy crisis, global warming, air pollution and other prolems threaten the environment of human living all the time. Energy saving and emission reduction has become one of China’s basic national policy in the1lth five-year development program and are quickly promoted throughout the country. At present, Shandong Province is in the stage of heavy industry, industries that produce resource products and products whose production consumes large quantities of energy and resources or is highly polluting contribute much to the GDP. So this will sharpen contradictions duiring energy,environment and economic development.Within this context,it is an important way to achieve the targets in the12th five-year development program by appraising energy saving and emission reduction in Shandong province,analyzing its influencing factors and then taking appropriate measures to improve the efficiency of energy saving and emission reduction.In this paper,we put energy and emission into one part to evaluate it.Energy consumption,water consumption, sulfur dioxide emission, chemical oxygen demand emission as input,GDP and the decrease amount of sulfur dioxide as output.We evaluate Shandong’s efficiency of energy saving and emission reduction from2006to2009by method of data envelopment analysia. Through analyzing we arrived at the conclusion: the integral efficiency of Shandong’s efficiency of energy saving and emission reduction is high.And technological progress plays an important role. Construct a data-based panels regression model to analyze the influencing direction and degree of each influencing factor on the efficiency. We can find that energy using efficiency impacts the efficiency greatest, followed by the factor of the industrial structure, the openness of the system and the investment of industrial pollution abatement.And the factor of energy using efficiency has nagetive relationships with the efficiency. The industrial structure, the openness of the system and the investment of industrial pollution abatement have positive relationships with the efficiency.Finally,on the basis of the analysis,this article gives some countermeasures for preceding Shandong’s efficiency of energy saving and emission reduction.
