Empirical Research on the Structure Efficiency of Energy Terminal Consumption in Regions of China

Abstract:

The paper develops an evaluation model using Data Envelopment Analysis to measure structure efficiency of energy terminal consumption - based on input-orientated measures in input structure (IIS Model). Specifically, the input structure efficiency (ISE) defined as the ratio of technical efficiency scores of ISS model over IMS model will be used to evaluate efficiency in terms of the structure of energy terminal consumption. The empirical data are used in the proposed analysis on the structure efficiency of energy terminal consumption in regions of China from 2000 to 2011. The results show that the overall level of the structure efficiency is lower and the structure of energy terminal consumption does not reach the optimization. There is a huge room for future improvement in terms of energy efficiency by optimizing the structure of energy terminal consumption. In addition, the results of correlations in regions show that there are several important managerial decisions which need being further explored.
