Advances in energy and environmental issues in China: theory, models, and applications

In this paper, we review the energy efficiency in China, and the following topics are discussed. (i) Some useful empirical analyses applied on the energy efficiency based on some expanded models, (ii) the relationship among environment, energy and economic growth, (iii) some important environmental efficiency evaluation indexes, and (iv) some latest researches on the emission system. Finally, some policy recommendations are made.
