Energy Economics, Vol. 48 : pp. 136-144.0140 - 9883http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/27006This paper analyses the technical efficiency of Chinese fossil-fuel electricity generation companies from 1999 to 2011, using a Bayesian stochastic frontier model. The results reveal that efficiency varies among the fossil-fuel electricity generation companies that were analysed. We also focus on the factors of size, location, government ownership and mixed sources of electricity generation for the fossil-fuel electricity generation companies, and also examine their effects on the efficiency of these companies. Policy implications are derived.engFossil-fuel Electricity Generation CompaniesStochastic Frontier AnalysisEfficiencyjournal article0.1016/j.eneco.2014.12.020
