 Spatial spillover effect of urban sprawl on total factor energy ecological efficiency: Evidence from 272 cities in ChinaYi Wang and Huiping Wang Energy, 2023, vol. 273, issue C Abstract: Rapid urbanization leads to a range of problems in connection with energy and ecology. The urban sprawl index and total factor energy ecological efficiency (TFEEE) are calculated using panel data of 272 cities in China from 2003 to 2018. The exploratory spatial data analysis approach is applied to characterize the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial correlation based on this foundation, and the spatial Durbin model is applied to test the effect of urban sprawl on TFEEE. The findings reveal that in different cities, the TFEEE have significant spatial autocorrelation. At the national level, urban sprawl inhibits the TFEEE of the city while promoting TFEEE in surrounding cities. The spillover effect of urban sprawl varies significantly by region, being significantly negative in the east and central regions, significantly positive in the west, and not significant in the northeast. Meanwhile, the spatial spillover effects of urban sprawl on TFEEE differ greatly by urban agglomeration, being significantly positive in the YRD, significantly negative in the BTH and MRYR, and not significant in the PRD and CUA.
