Abstract The paper embarks from the sources of industrial agglomeration to analyze the mechanism between industrial agglomeration and energy efficiency,and establishes a theoretical model between industrial agglomeration and energy efficiency through the analysis of the intervening variable-industry competitiveness.The paper uses 20 provincial manufacturing industries in China from 2000-2010 as research objects to differentiate professional and diversified industrial concentration,and it also uses GMM method to explore the mechanism of energy efficiency.Results indicate that the specialized manufacturing industry agglomeration is more advantageous to promote energy efficiency than diversified industrial agglomeration,and specialized industrial agglomeration is unfavorable to improve energy efficiency.
