“…Matsushita and Yamane [24] employed a directional distance function to derive shadow prices of CO 2 in the electric power sector of Japan. Xie et al [25] investigated the inefficiency level, shadow price and substitution elasticity of industrial SO 2 emissions in China from 1998 to 2011 based on a directional distance function. Lee et al [26] conducted an empirical study with a directional distance function on Korea's electric power industry during the period of 1990-1995.…”

The Paris Conference holds great significance in terms of establishing a legally binding and global agreement on climate change with the aim of keeping global warming below 2ºC above preindustrial levels [1]. However, as one of the largest economies in the world, China is the biggest emitter worthy of the name and its annual growth of emissions has been more than the sum of North America and Europe [2]. As a responsible country, China has committed to reducing CO 2 emissions per unit of GDP (i.e., carbon intensity) by 40-45% by 2020 compared to 2005 [3]. Furthermore, in the Paris Climate Conference, China's government pledged to peak its CO 2 emissions no later than 2030 [4] and further reduce carbon intensity by 60-65% of the 2005 level [5, 6]. Determining how large the economic sacrifice will be for achieving the upper goals has attracted increasing attention in recent literature [7,

“…In the third scenario, China's energy efficiency during the 11th five-year plan period was 0.6306, while the average annual growth rate of energy productivity was only 0.27%. Xie et al [29] estimated the technical efficiency of each province, shadow price and the elastic- The distance function shown above has a commonality that only one frontier is constructed. To be specific, it assumes that there is no heterogeneity among all production units, and they share a common technological frontier.…”

In this paper, the input-oriented distance function is applied to the efficiency analysis of China's electricity, thermal power production and supply industries. Due to the obvious gap between China's east, central and west, we use the metafrontier method to divide the data into three parts according to east, central and west. On the basis of the previous research, this paper makes some innovations in the estimation method, that is, using the two-stage linear programming method to estimate the common boundary input distance function. The results show that the technical efficiency of the eastern, central and western regions is significantly different, which is mainly reflected in that the technical efficiency of the eastern region is higher than that of the central and western regions, and the efficiency gap between the three regions shows no signs of narrowing during the "eleventh five-year plan" and "twelfth five-year plan". Therefore, the electricity, thermal power production and supply industries in central and western China still need to change the development mode and improve the development quality.

“…Färe et al [29] employ DDF in quadratic form and measured the shadow price of SO 2 for coal-fired power plants in the U.S. in 1993 and 1997. Xie et al [30] employ a parametric quadratic DDF to investigate the inefficiency level, shadow price, and substitution elasticity of Chinese industrial SO 2 emissions from 1998 to 2011, and the results show that the shadow price continuously and substantially increases throughout the period, which implies that controlling additional SO 2 emissions becomes costlier. Related studies include Coggins and Swinton [31], Marklund and Samakovlis [32], Matsushita and Yamane [33], Rezek and Campbell [34], Swinton [35].…”

In this paper, provincial panel data for China during 1995-2015 and the time substitution data envelopment analysis (DEA) model were used to measure the influences of China's carbon emissions reduction policy on economic growth under various reduction targets and to determine optimal economic growth and optimal carbon emissions of each province. In addition, this paper empirically examines the factors that influence the optimal economic growth and carbon emissions. The results indicate that not all provinces will suffer from a loss in gross domestic product (GDP) when confronted by the constraints of carbon emissions reductions. Certain provinces can achieve a win-win situation between economic growth and carbon emissions reductions if they are allowed to reallocate production decisions over time. Provinces with higher environmental efficiency, higher per capita GDP, smaller populations, and lower energy intensity might suffer from a larger loss in GDP. Therefore, they should set lower carbon emissions reduction targets.
