The relationship between resource misallocation and productivity has become a hot topic in recent years, but few studies examined the impact of spatial misallocation of electric power resources (SMEPRs) on economic efficiency and carbon emissions. Here, we constructed a calculation model of SMEPRs that can measure both the misallocation degree and direction and uncovered the spatiotemporal evolvement mechanism of SMEPRs. On this basis, we explored the impact of SMEPRs on regional economic efficiency and carbon emissions using panel data from 29 provinces in China from 1988 to 2017. The results demonstrate that the high level of SMEPRs in China shows complex spatiotemporal characteristics and significantly affects the regional economic efficiency and carbon emissions. Specifically speaking, first, SMEPRs present the characteristics of the coexistence of excessive and insufficient allocation among provinces and regions, the increasing extent of misallocation in the eastern and western regions, and the gradual decline in the central region; second, SMEPRs have a strong negative effect on the regional economic efficiency and carbon emissions by affecting regional industrial structures, which indicates that SMEPRs are an important factor restricting the high-quality development of regional economies. The research is conducive to the development of resource misallocation theory. Moreover, the research observations offer fresh insights to upgrading the high-quality and green development of China's power sector and promoting regional economic transformation and ecological sustainability.
资源错配与生产率之间的关系近年来成为热点问题，但是鲜有研究考察电力资源空间错配（SMEPRs）对经济效率和碳排放的影响。在这里，我们构建了一个可以衡量电力资源错配程度和方向的计算模型，并揭示了 SMEPRs 的时空演变机制。在此基础上，我们利用 1988 年至 2017 年中国 29 个省份的面板数据，探讨了 SMEPRs 对区域经济效率和碳排放的影响。结果表明，中国高水平的 SMEPRs 呈现出复杂的时空特征，对区域经济效率和碳排放有显著影响。具体而言，首先，SMEPRs 呈现出省际和区域间过度和不足配置并存、东部和西部地区错配程度增加、中部地区逐渐下降的特征；其次，SMEPRs 通过影响区域产业结构对区域经济效率和碳排放产生了强烈的负向影响，这表明 SMEPRs 是制约区域经济高质量发展的重要因素。本研究有助于丰富资源错配理论。此外，研究结果为提升中国电力部门的高质量绿色发展水平、促进区域经济转型和生态可持续性提供了新的见解。
