Research on Provincial Energy Rebound Effect in China

摘要

In view of the negligence of unbalanced development between regions in current research on the energy rebound effect in China, we provide a calculation method based on stochastic frontier production function. By using China's provincial panel data from 1977 to 2014, this paper estimates energy rebound effects. It concludes that: technical efficiency has significant difference, and rebound effects are quite different. If the rebound effect value is more than 100%, tax and other means are needed to achieve energy saving goals.
