摘　　要：政府目标如何驱动能源效率改善是一个重要问题,“十一五”规划节能目标政策是中国转向能源节约型社会的关键契机。本文通过手工收集地级市层面节能目标约束数据,采用双重差分法考察节能目标政策对地区能源效率的影响。研究表明,节能目标政策显著提升能源效率,这一结论通过了一系列稳健性检验。机制分析表明,节能目标较高地区通过调整经济增长目标、优化产业结构、促进技术进步和改善资源配置效率实现地区能源效率提升。异质性分析发现,治理激励和晋升激励较强地区的能源效率改善效果更好,自然资源禀赋低、市场化水平高、财政支出水平高的地区政策效果也更加显著。微观企业层面的经验证据也支持上述发现,为中国在“双碳”背景下合理制定和科学实施节能目标政策提供政策启示。How government targets drive energy efficiency improvements is an important question,and the 11th Five-Year Plan is a key opportunity for China to move toward an energy-efficient society. The policy implements standardized management of energy-saving targets,and for the first time,energysaving targets have been included in the performance appraisal and evaluation system of local governments.In this study,we manually collect data on the constraints of energy-saving targets at the prefecture level and use the difference-in-differences method to investigate the impact of energy-saving target policies on regional energy efficiency. The results reveal that the energy-saving target policies significantly improve energy efficiency,and the average power intensity of the region will be significantly reduced by 1.7% for every unit increase in the energy-saving target,which passes a series of robustness tests. The mechanism analysis reveals that regions with high energy-saving targets can improve their energy efficiency by adjusting the economic growth target,optimizing the industrial structure,promoting technological progress,and improving the efficiency of resource allocation. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that regions with strong governance and promotion incentives have more obvious energy efficiency improvement effects,and the effect of energy-saving target policies is more significant in areas with low natural resource endowment,high marketization,and high fiscal expenditure. Based on micro-enterprise data,the study finds that energy-saving target policies help improve the energy efficiency of enterprises and enhance energy efficiency more in small and medium-sized enterprises, non-state-owned enterprises,and high energy-dependent enterprises.Compared with the current literature,this study has the following marginal contributions:in terms of research theory,it expands the empirical evidence of the theories of“target responsibility system”and“administrative contract system”and answers the theoretical question o
