Abstract

The paper analyzes the impact mechanism of disparities in energy efficiency among cities in China on economic green development from the perspective of government behavior based on the theory of new structural economics.Using the recentered influence function to measure urban energy efficiency disparities,an empirical study is conducted with panel data from 274 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2020. The results show that urban energy efficiency disparities incentivize local governments to undertake industrial and energy structural transformation, implement environmental regulations, control energy intensity, and engage in technological innovation, thereby promoting economic green development. The promoting effect and mechanism of energy efficiency disparities on economic green development vary deponding on factors such as time, region, the degree of government dominance, intensity of local government competition, level of marketization, and the degree of government-market coordination. Accordingly, we propose that we should leverage regional energy efficiency disparities to stimulate energy technology breakthroughs and technology transfer, promote the energy technology revolution through government-market coordination precisely, improve the mechanism of regional energy efficiency disparities to promote economic green development comprehensively.
