Abstract Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in 19952009 and taking the human capital, the effective capital stock and energy as input variables, GDP as output variable and rationalization of industrial structure as threshold variable because of heterogeneity of technology clubs, this paper uses the threshold effects stochastic frontier model to analyze the total factor energy efficiency and its influencing factors. The results show that the economic growth of the different provinces has three technological clubs, and the more reasonable of industrial structure, the higher total factor energy efficiency. The foreign trade, the property right system reform and reducing the carbon intensity helps for enhancing the total factor energy efficiency.
