>Abstract:
>Energy intensity in China has fallen almost continuously since the 
>onset of economic reform in the late 1970s. Understanding the 
>factors driving this decline in a large carbon-intensive country 
>like China is important for understanding the future trajectory of 
>global carbon emissions. In this research, we utilize a uniquely 
>rich data set of Chinese firm characteristics and technological 
>innovation activities to identify the key determinants of rising 
>energy efficiency within China's industrial sector.
>
>CEES-Geography seminars are at 4 p.m. in Room 453, Stone Science 
>Building, 675 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, at the corner of Granby St.
