『Abstract
For Chinese industry, the costs of different energy consumption
abatement scenarios are evaluated by the method of directional
distance function. These scenarios are based on the combinations
of regulation strategies and allocation alternatives - the former
are sectors and provinces, and the latter include the five principles
of average, intensity share, absolute share, discriminatory absolute
and discriminatory intensity. For all the scenarios, the quantitative
impacts in terms of output potential loss are calculated and compared.
Due to less output potential loss for all the allocation alternatives,
the sector regulation strategy is shown to be more effective than
the province regulation strategy. It is also demonstrated that,
among all the scenarios considered, the sector regulation based
on the intensity share principle and the province regulation based
on the absolute share principle are the two optimal. The performances
of energy abatement allocation of the 11th and 12th Five Year
Plans of China are assessed against the simulated scenarios.
