摘要本文以2005 - 2013年9年间中国30个省份为样本，构建包括不期望产出在内的两年一次的Malmquist指数，对旅游能源效率进行评价并分解其变化。旅游能源效率的变化可归结为全要素生产率、资本-能量比、劳动-能量比、能源供给构成和产出构成五个因素。研究结果表明，旅游行业的能源效率远低于整个行业的能源效率，并且不绿色。全要素生产率是提高旅游能源效率的重要积极动力。2010年以来，资本劳动比率逐渐超过全要素生产率，成为旅游能效变化的最大贡献因素，成为旅游能效提升的最大阻碍因素。资本的合理利用和新资本的投入应与节能技术相结合，是可持续旅游的必要条件。
ABSTRACT This study constructs the biennial Malmquist index, including undesirable outputs, to evaluate tourism energy efficiency and decompose its changes using a sample of 30 provinces in China over the period of 9 years from 2005 to 2013. The changes in tourism energy efficiency can be attributed to five factors, including total factor productivity, capital-energy ratio, labour-energy ratio, energy supply composition and output composition. The study results show that the energy efficiency of the tourism industry is much lower than that of the industry as a whole and not greener. Total factor productivity is a key positive driving force to boost tourism energy efficiency. Capital-labour ratio gradually overtook the total factor productivity as the tourism energy efficiency change’s largest contribution since 2010 and thus became the biggest inhibitor for increasing tourism energy efficiency. The rational utilization of capital and new capital investment should accompany energy-saving technology and is essential for sustainable tourism.
