新世纪后经济快速增长的特征是重工业化和土地城市化的再现。在文献中，大量研究考察了重工业化过程中能源和排放对增长质量的影响，但很少关注土地维度。本文旨在研究土地利用对中国区域经济全要素效率（TFE）变化的影响，并结合能源因子。得到的基本结论如下：(1)土地和能源因子对全因子综合效率（TFIE）的影响具有统计学显著性，导致样本期内的效率表现明显降低且没有提高。综合效率主要由土地因素而非能源因素决定；(2)土地全要素效率（TFLE）低于能源效率，有较大的提升空间。土地因子对全要素能源效率（TFEE）有统计学显著影响，反之则无统计学显著影响。与单要素效率相比，全要素能源/土地效率为我们提供了一个更精确的衡量中国要素效率的指标。
The rapid economic growth after the new millennium could be characterized by the reappearance of heavy industrialization and land urbanization. In the literatures, extensive studies have examined the impact of energy and emissions on the growth quality during the heavy industrialization process, but few have paid attention to the land dimension. This paper aims at studying the role of land use in changing the total-factor efficiency (TFE) in China’s regional economy, together with the energy factors. The basic conclusions obtained are as follows: (1) the land and energy factors do have a statistically significant influence on the total-factor integrated efficiency (TFIE), leading to a much lower and not improved efficiency performance in the sample period. The integrated efficiency is dominated by the land factor rather than energy ones; and (2) the total-factor land efficiency (TFLE) is lower than the energy efficiency and has more room to improve. The land factor has a statistically significant influence on the total-factor energy efficiency (TFEE) but not vice versa . As compared to single-factor efficiency, the total-factor energy/land efficiency provides us a more precise measure of factor efficiency in China.
