The Analysis of the Generalized Carbon-Productivity in China’s Sub-Industrial Sectors

Article Preview

Abstract:

As an energy-intensive sector, industrial sector is the subject of carbon emissions. The changes of the sector profoundly affect the pattern of China's overall carbon productivity. Based on DEA method, this paper calculated the generalized carbon-productivity from 2004-2009 of China’s sub-industrial sectors, and then decomposed their changes. The results indicate: 1. the overall carbon-productivity of China’s sub-industrial sectors was low, and there is an internal imbalance; 2.the low carbon-productivity is mainly due to the low technical efficiency and scale inefficiency.
