Abstract: Based on super-efficiency DEA and ML index, we estimated the ML index of total factor energy efficiency and analyzed its temporal and spatial disparities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 1999 to 2013. According to the results, total factor energy efficiency of the Yangtze River economic belt declined 2.9% annually from 1999 to 2013, while the decline value regardless of environment is 0.4%. This demonstrates that environmental pollution is an important factor leading to the loss of energy efficiency. In the aspect of time, the overall level of total factor energy efficiency in the Yangtze River economic belt had a M-shaped locus with bimodal distribution, that is, it had two periods that include a "up-down" paths respectively. But the evolution features of inter-provincial are quite different from that in Yangtze River from upstream to downstream. Inter-provincial disparity of total factor energy efficiency is much larger than that among upstream, midstream and downstream of the Yangtze River. These disparities have a tendency to decrease in recent years with varying degrees. In the future,ecological civilization development strategy is needed to ensure sustainable development. Meanwhile, governments in the Yangtze River economic belt need to strengthen their cooperation in energy, environment protection and other fields to promote the development of total factor energy efficiency progress collaboratively.

Key words: the Yangtze River economic belt, total factor energy efficiency, super-efficiency DEA, ML index
