Efficiency at Energy Industry: A Comparison of Energy Consumption Efficiency among Asian Pacific Countries
Abstract
This paper proposes a scheme to estimate the technical efficiency of energy consumption and production and shadow prices of CO2 emission in country‐level at Asia Pacific countries by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The result of technical efficiency estimation shows that there exists an heterogeneity and a substantial opportunity for improvement in technical efficiency at energy consumption and production across countries, specially in the CO2 emission, which implies that more pollutant are spread in air. Each country will have the different willingness to pay for the additional CO2 emission right and this result enables us to predict the competition in international CO2 emission right market.
