Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study attempted to measure the environmental efficiency for the East and Southeast Asian countries, mainly China. In addition, we analyzed the patterns of change in environmental performance, and conducted empirical analysis on factors of the performance. Specifically, we tried international comparison based on time series analysis by macro and industry, and conducted panel data analysis by region for China.
From the results of the time series analysis, it was found that China has deteriorated in terms of the efficiency of discharging environmental pollutants, as is the case with Japan's experience. However, from the results of the panel data analysis by region for China, it revealed that pollution abatement efforts have been associated with improvements in environmental efficiency of the industrial sector. Furthermore, it showed that lowering the cost of agricultural waste have a positive impact on environmental efficiency of the agricultural sector.
