This research uses the slack‐based measure data envelopment analysis to compute the energy and emission efficiencies of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other Asian economies during the 2001–2017 period, employs the Malmquist productivity index to check for the main source of efficiency score changes due to technical changes, and then applies panel Tobit regressions to determine the factors explaining the efficiencies. Our empirical results show that the energy efficiency scores of ASEAN economies had been catching up to other Asian economies after the Global Financial Crisis, whereas the emission efficiency scores of various ASEAN economies had been falling behind other Asian economies over the same period. The main source of efficiency score changes over time is efficiency changes and not technical changes. Decreases in the fossil fuel ratio of net electricity generation and the secondary industry ratio within total industry improve both lead to improvements in energy and emission efficiencies.

东盟及其他亚洲经济体的总能源效率和排放效率

这项研究使用基于松弛的度量数据包络分析来计算2001年至2017年期间东南亚国家联盟（ASEAN）和其他亚洲经济体的能源和排放效率，并使用Malmquist生产率指数来检查能源消耗的主要来源。效率得分因技术变化而变化，然后应用面板Tobit回归来确定解释效率的因素。我们的经验结果表明，在全球金融危机之后，东盟经济体的能效得分一直赶超其他亚洲经济体，而同期各个东盟经济体的排放效率得分却一直落后于其他亚洲经济体。效率得分随时间变化的主要来源是效率变化，而不是技术变化。
