Abstract

How to evaluate the energy efficiencies of different Chinese areas is the premise to realize the strategic goal of saving energy and reducing energy consumption.Based on one single-factor method and three total-factor method and data in 2005,the energy-efficiency analysis shows that:(1) Compared to single-factor method,total-factor method can reveal the effects of endowments on energy efficiency.(2) Chinese total energy efficiency is very low. China can save about 30% energy if all areas could be the same energy efficiency as Shanghai.(3) Great differences between east and west areas indicate that it is very important to improve inter-regional energy co-operations and diffusing of production technologies.
