Replication Data for: Semi-parametric Estimation of Convex and Nonconvex By-Production Technologies

The data contains 47 city-year observations from 2011 to 2019. The data are collected from the China Energy Statistical Yearbook and IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. These cities are carefully selected from the three Chinese provinces characterized by the highest industrial output, with their primary business income exceeding 20 million yuan. Energy consumption (expressed in standard coal consumption) and carbon emissions are computed based on the consumption of nine energy resources. The calculation of the energy consumption index hinges on the heat release per unit of energy burned, while the carbon emissions index is derived from the number of carbon atoms released.
