Spatially Correlated Network Structure and Influencing Factors of Carbon Emission Efficiency in the Power Industry: Evidence from China by Baojun Sun, Taiwen Feng, Mingjing Du, Yuqing Liang, Tianbao Feng

“…Finally, the influencing factors of the CEEP’s spatial correlation are investigated using the quadratic allocation procedure (QAP) method. The results show that (1) the national CEEP is gradually increasing, while the CEEP gap between provinces is widening; (2) the overall network size shows an increasing trend, but the hierarchical structure is somewhat fixed; (3) the central province of a network has a high degree of consistency with the geographically central province, but the spatial spillover effect of the central node provinces on the peripheral provinces is not sufficient; and (4) differences in geographic proximity, energy intensity, and technical level of power generation significantly affect the formation of spatially correlated networks in the CEEP.…”
