Abstract

The low utilization efficiency of industrial water in China has become a resource bottleneck restraining the development of industry. Based on the data of 30 provinces in China from 1999 to 2011, using SBM-Undesirable and the Meta-frontier model, this paper studies water use efficiency of industry under meta-frontier and group-frontier and estimates its influencing factors. The results show that the utilization efficiency of industrial water has a big difference between meta-frontier and group-frontier because of the utilization technological heterogeneity of industrial water in different regions. Efficiency values are generally lower when incorporated in industrial water pollutants. So there is still a larger room for improving the efficiency.Further study finds that the present price of industrial water is distorted to some extent, which can't reflect the efficient allocation of water resources. Policy implications indicate that water use efficiency of industry is concerned with technological heterogeneity, industrial water pollutants and its governance effect. The present price of industrial water should be gradually increased and the scalar water pricing system may be implemented followed the model of the residential water prices.

Key words
