Efficiency Evaluation and Influencing Factors Analysis on Carbon Emission of Border Provinces Based on EBM-Tobit Model
Based on the panel data of eight border provinces from 2005 to 2019,we used EBM-GML meth-od to measure the carbon emission efficiency level of each province,and Tobit model was used to analyze the influencing factors of carbon emission efficiency..The results show that the carbon emission efficiency level of border provinces is on the rise,but there is a big difference in carbon emission efficiency among border provinces.In the early stage,technical efficiency is the main reason for the rise of carbon emission efficiency level,but in the later stage,technological progress becomes the main driving factor,and then plays a role together with technical efficiency.Level of economic development,opening up and government support all have a positive effect on carbon emission efficiency,whereas the energy consumption structure has a significant negative relationship with carbon emission efficiency.In practice,we can improve the car-bon emission efficiency of border provinces by making low-carbon development strategic planning,expan-ding opening to the outside world,optimizing the energy consumption structure and other measures,so as to realize the healthy and sustainable development of border economy.
