摘要
Improving energy efficiency is important to ensure economic growth while conserving energy and reducing emissions. Based on the total factor energy efficiency of China's textile industry, this paper constructs a simultaneous equation model that includes the Tobit model, and empirically analyzes whether foreign trade affects energy efficiency in the textile industry as well as the mechanism of any such influence. The empirical results demonstrate positive feedback between foreign trade and energy efficiency in the textile industry, with imports impacting energy efficiency more than do exports. The foreign trade of textile industry is divided into import trade and export trade, which have different impacts on energy efficiency. Simultaneously, the results also confirm that R&D input, ownership structure and energy price significantly impact the energy efficiency of China's textile industry. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
