摘要：

In this paper, we empirically investigate the impact of energy regulation on manufacturing firms' energy intensity and energy structure during 2003-2009. The identification uses the energy regulation of the 11th Five-Year Plan implemented in 2006. We show that tighter energy regulation leads to a significant energy intensity decrease and that firms switch their energy structure from using dirty fossil energy to a cleaner one. We also examine the mechanisms behind this phenomenon and find that the rising R&D inputs and increasing energy consumption ratio of high energy efficient firms are the mainly two reasons.
