Abstract

ABSTRACT Although the nexus between urbanization and energy efficiency has been evidenced at the macro level, we have less knowledge about the effects of administrative level of cities on energy efficiency. Understanding this impact mechanism is necessary to achieve goals of energy conservation and sustainable development. We estimate the relationship between the administrative level of cities and energy efficiency in China by adopting the province-level fixed-effect models from a panel dataset. The empirical findings present that energy efficiency of capital cities is 0.46 (95% Confidence Interval: −0.713, −0.206) lower than that of general cities. Moreover, these effects of administrative level are more substantial in underdeveloped cities. These findings suggest that more political sources and autonomy in the higher-level cities might lead to low energy efficiency.
城市行政级别对能源效率的异质性影响——基于中国的面板研究
虽然城市化与能源效率之间的关系已经在宏观层面得到证实,但我们对城市行政级别对能源效率的影响知之甚少。了解这种影响机制对于实现节能和可持续发展的目标是必要的。本文采用面板数据集的省级固定效应模型,对中国城市行政级别与能源效率之间的关系进行了估计。实证结果表明,首都城市的能源效率比一般城市低0.46(95%置信区间:- 0.713,- 0.206)。此外,行政级别的影响在欠发达城市更为显著。这些发现表明,更多的政治来源和更高层次的城市自治可能导致低能源效率。
