An Analysis on the Differences of Regional Energy Efficiency in China - The Empirical Study Based on Theil Index

Abstract:

This paper divides Chinas 30 provinces into eastern region, central region and western region, uses the energy intensity as an index to analyze energy efficiency from 1995 to 2010 in China and take the empirical study in regional differences of energy efficiency by Theil index. The results of this research indicate that the total, within-region and between-region difference of energy efficiency are all constantly reducing in China. There is a rapid decrease of the total difference and within-region difference of energy efficiency. The total difference mainly consists of within-regional difference. The within-region differences of energy efficiency in the three regions are not the same. To be specific, the difference in the eastern and central regions decreases, while the difference in the western region is showing some characteristics of fluctuation.
