Abstract:

For economic activities, energy is a necessary component of production. As the world's largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, China faces greater resource constraints and environmental pressure in the background of global climate change, improving energy efficiency is the inevitable path for long-term development. However, the energy efficiency in China at this stage is relatively low, thus improving energy efficiency is urgent. Based on the panel data from the database of Chinese industrial enterprises and the database of Chinese industrial enterprises' pollutant emissions between 2003 and 2012, this paper empirically conducts a thorough investigation on the nonlinear impact of spatial agglomeration and enterprises' energy efficiency, and further examine its heterogeneity and mechanisms. The results show that: (1) There is a significant U-shaped link between spatial agglomeration and enterprises' energy efficiency. (2) Based on agglomeration externalities, scale effect, learning effect, competition effect, and policy effect are the internal mechanisms through which spatial agglomeration impacts on enterprises' energy efficiency. (3) The effects of spatial agglomeration on enterprises' energy efficiency are influenced by technology level, energy consumption level, agglomeration patterns, and enterprise characteristics. Based on the empirical findings, we suggest that enterprises take full advantage of the benefits brought by spatial agglomeration, and that the government encourage the growth period of spatial agglomeration to become more profound, more synergetic, and more diverse.
