Using Malmquist Index Decomposition, this paper investigates energy efficiency of China's
iron and steel sector during the period 1994–2003. Provincial panel data is employed …

This paper used data from 50 enterprises in China's iron and steel industry to evaluate their
energy efficiency and productivity change. The study first used a conventional data …

The rapid growth of the Chinese economy has resulted in great pressure on energy
consumption, especially the energy intensive sector–the industrial sector. To achieve …

The traditional estimation methods tend to result in biased energy efficiency estimates due to
the exclusion of heterogeneous production technology. Taking this factor into account, this …

The index of TFEE (total-factor energy efficiency) is used to assess the level of energy
consumption to produce economic output (GDP (gross domestic product)) based on multi …

This study employs a Luenberger-Hicks-Moorsteen productivity indicator to measure the
total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) of China …

This article introduces total-factor energy productivity change index (TFEPI) based on the
concept of total-factor energy efficiency and the Luenberger productivity index to evaluate …

This paper measures the energy efficiency of China based on the production theoretic
framework by using panel data of inter-provinces and industries from 1990 to 2006 and …

At present, there are serious problems of excessive energy consumption and carbon
emissions in Chinese manufacturing industry. To solve these problems, it is of great …

The recent economic reform of China's iron and steel industry has resulted in its rapid
expansion to become the largest in the world. However, the resultant increase in the use of …
