Abstract:

In this paper, data envelopment analysis (DEA) model of super efficiency and Malmquist index are used to measure the environmental efficiency of construction land in China from 2006 to 2016, analyze its spatial and temporal evolution characteristics, and analyze the impact of various factors on the environmental efficiency of inter-provincial construction land quantitatively through Tobit model of panel fixation effect. The following research results are obtained:1) The overall environmental efficiency of construction land in China is low, among which the eastern and northern coastal economic zones perform the highest average efficiency. 2) From the perspective of the change trend of the environmental efficiency of construction land in various regions, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Shaanxi have witnessed rapid growth, among which technological progress is the main driving force. 3) The industrial structure and the intensity of scientific and technological research and development have significant positive impacts on the environmental efficiency of construction land, whereas the relationship between the degree of economic development and the environmental efficiency of construction land shows an U-shape. The research results could provide a helpful basis for controlling the intensity and allocation of regional construction land in China in future.

Key words: regional difference, super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA), construction land, environmental efficiency, Tobit
