Energy is the material that supplies energy to nature and is the material basis of all human activities.However,most of the energy,especially fossil fuels,are non-renewable resources,and the scarcity of energy has constrained human production and life.Therefore,energy-related issues have always been the focus of academic attention.Economic development can not be separated from the energy input,with the development of human society,especially in recent years,the rapid development of the global economy,a series of energy problems began to increasingly prominent.From the supply level,both China and the world are facing a more serious energy problem.There are three main ways to solve the contradiction between energy supply and demand: First,"open source",that is,to increase energy supply to increase the supply,which also includes the development and utilization of new energy sources,such as wind energy,solar energy,nuclear energy,tidal energy;The second is "Throttling",that is,to limit the demand for energy.In that "throttling" will hinder the development of the economy,so "Throttling" is rather than a good way;The third is "synergies",that is,to improve the efficiency of energy,use less energy inputs to bring more outputs.Therefore,the development of new energy,optimize the management and effective allocation of energy resources,improve energy efficiency,reduce pollutant emissions has become an issue which national economic development must be considered,and is also the standpoint of a country which want to develop healthy in the world.Therefore,the scientific evaluation of energy efficiency,and to identify the factors that affect energy efficiency for solving energy problems have a strong practical significance.In this paper,I use a new low energy development index(LEDI)to evaluate the energy efficiency of Henan Province,and to analyze the influencing factors of energy efficiency.According to the empirical results of this paper,although the total energy efficiency(TFEE)has a large difference in value,the two values have similar fluctuations and convergence characteristics.It can be considered that the low energy consumption development index is a reasonable reflection of energy Efficiency indicators.This paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of low energy consumption development in Henan Province,and finds out that the low energy consumption development index of Henan Province is at the upper level of the whole country.In 2005-2008,the overall situation of Henan Province Which is mainly affected by the development of heavy industry.From time point of view,the LEDI index of Henan Province has gradually stabilized,and the radiation effect of provincial cities on neighboring cities has gradually decreased.From the spatial point of view,Low energy consumption development index also has obvious "agglomeration" effect,that is,the economic structure of the city's LEDI is also at the same or similar level;Henan Province,LEDI level has an obvious regional imbalance.Finally,this dissertationuses the Malmquist index to decompose the total factor productivity of Henan Province.The results show that technological progress is an important index affecting the total factor production efficiency of Henan Province.Henan Province,the industrialization of the "volume" on the increase,did not achieve the "quality" on a breakthrough,indicating that Henan Province has not yet made substantial progress at the view of from extensive economic growth to intensive economic growth.Through the spatial econometric model,this dissertation systematically analyzes the influencing factors of energy efficiency in 18 cities of Henan Province.According to the results of this study,the energy efficiency between 18 cities of Henan Province has a strong positive spatial correlation.In the regression analysis,the spatial autocorrelation coefficient is 0.43,which indicates that the energy efficiency improvement of adjacent cities is helpful to improve the local energy efficiency;scientific and technological progress,the tertiary industry accounted for a significant positive impact on energy efficiency,and property rights system has a significant negative impact on energy efficiency;In addition,The impact of government intervention,opening up and price doesn't have a significant effect on energy efficiency respectively,but the combination of three variables has a significant impact on energy efficiency.Therefore,we shouldimprove the energy efficiency of Henan Province from the following aspects: encourage technology research and development,increase investment in technology research and development;adjust the industrial structure,optimize industrial upgrading;encourage the development of market economy,reduce the proportion of state-owned enterprises;Price supervision,the appropriate special subsidies for enterprises.
