Ranking first in the world in production of coal, China exported 16.5 million tonnes (Mmt) of coal in 2011; a sharp decline from a peak of 108.8 Mmt in 2003 (EIA, 2014b). Historically, a net coal exporter, China became a net coal importer in 2009 for the first time in more than two decades (EIA, 2014a).

  • The Efficiency Evaluation of Energy Enterprise Group Finance
    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 16 First International Conference on Economic and Business Management (FEBM 2016) The Efficiency Evaluation of Energy Enterprise Group Finance Companies Based on DEA Lina Jia a*, Ren Jin Sun a, Gang Lin b, LiLe Yang c a University of Petroleum, Beijing, China b China Construction Bank, Beijing (Branch), China c Xi'an Changqing Technology Engineering Co., Ltd., China *Corresponding author: Lina Jia, Master,E-mail：[email protected] Abstract: By the end of 2015, about 196 financial companies have been established in China. The energy finance companies accounted for about 25% of the proportion. Energy finance groups has some special character such as the big size of funds, the wide range of business, so the level of efficiency of its affiliated finance company has become the focus of attention. In this paper , we choose DEA to measure the efficiency(technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, scale efficiency and return to scale ) and make projection analysis for fifty energy enterprise group finance companies in 2014. The following results were obtained：①The overall efficiency of the energy finance companies is not high. ①Under the condition of maintaining the current level of output, Most of the energy enterprise finance companies should be appropriate to reduce the input redundancy, so as to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary waste. ③Some companies should continuously improve the internal management level to achieve the level and the size of output . Through the projection analysis, this paper provides some enlightenment and practical guidance for the improvement of the efficiency level of the non DEA effective energy group enterprise group.
