ABSTRACT: Based on the careful calculation of the carbon
dioxide emissions from 1996 to 2014 in China’s industrial sector, the efficiency of all-element
carbon emissions in 35 industrial sectors was measured by the super-efficiency
DEA method. Finally, this paper uses the Tobit model to explore the main
factors that cause the change of carbon emission efficiency, and grasp the
influence direction and influence degree of these factors on the carbon
emission efficiency, and put forward some suggestions for these influencing
factors. Through the study, this article
found that carbon emissions of China’s industrial sector grew rapidly, but in recent years has become
convergence. The overall level of carbon efficiency in the industrial sector is
low and there is a large emission reduction. Those industries with high degree
of openness, adequate funding for R&D, and a certain scale have a higher carbon
efficiency.
