论文摘要：

The economic reform in the past 30 years has allowed free market to lead the economic development. However, government still makes a key role in the energy sector in allocating the energy conservation and emission abatement. How does the government make an equity decision as a trade-off of the market efficiency? This is an unanswered question. The purpose of the paper is to illustrate the government preference toward equity and efficiency. Using the provincial allocation data, together with the constructed equity index and efficiency index, we will estimate the weights for the equity and efficiency, controlling the other environmental variables. The findings will have significant policy implication. For instance, knowing the preference of equity and preference can help conducting cost-benefit analysis of energy conservation and emission abatement. This yields better energy policy toward future.
