Abstract

Using the method of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), this paper chooses the rate of urbanization, the per capita Road area, the per capita green area, the green coverage rate, the third industrial proportion, the proportion of eight energy consuming industries, the intensity of the input into R&D, environmental protection investment index, employees in the proportion of total population as the input factor, and GDP output of the unit carbon emission as the output factor to calculate and analyze the carbon emission efficiency of China's 30 provinces in 2006 and 2011. The results shows the carbon emission efficiency in Beijing, Hebei, Shanghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang is decreased, while other provinces’ shows the contrary result. Meanwhile there is a big difference between different regions.
