Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I conducted an empirical analysis of energy efficiency and its determinants, taking into account of the technology gap. Stochastic frontier analysis is applied to an international dataset and Japan’s regional dataset, respectively. To consider the difference of available technology, I divided countries or regions in the samples into a few groups on the basis of a certain criteria in the analysis. The meta-frontier analysis allow us to decompose the energy inefficiency into the inside operational inefficiency and the technology gap.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究成果の学術的・社会的意義として、第1に、多くの先行研究とは異なって、各経済主体が利用可能な技術の違いを考慮することで、非効率性を国・地域・産業内部に帰せられる要因と外部環境による制約に帰せられる要因とに分解したことである。第2に産出の減少を伴わずに削減可能なエネルギー消費量を定量的に示したことである。第3に、どのような要因がエネルギー利用の非効率を招いているのかを明らかにしたことである。
