Spatio-temporal Features of Industrial Carbon Efficiency and Its Influence Elements Analysis

Abstract

The assessment of industrial carbon emission efficiency and the investigation of its influence elements are hot topics in environmental economics. Supported by SBM model, this paper uses the information of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2020 to study the spatial-temporal evolution of China's industrial carbon emission efficiency and its influencing factors. This paper believes that, in terms of direct effects, the energy structure, industrial structure, property rights structure, environmental control and foreign direct investment level will greatly influence the industrial carbon emission efficiency; with regard to indirect effects, the property rights structure, environmental control and foreign direct investment level significantly influence the industrial carbon emission efficiency.
