Abstract: In the face of the enormous challenge of climate change and environmental pollution, improving energy efficiency is currently the best option for achieving economic green recovery. Using generalized method of moments estimation of dynamic panel data models, we examined the effects of endogenous power factors (e.g., farmers' human capital, invention patents, and agricultural digitalization) on agricultural energy efficiency, as well as the moderating role of price marketization therein. The results show that farmers’ human capital and agricultural invention patents cannot significantly improve agricultural energy efficiency, whereas agricultural digitalization promotes it obviously. Meanwhile, price marketization has played an important role in improving agricultural energy efficiency. Moreover, the higher the price marketization level, the more significant the role of endogenous power factors in improving agricultural energy efficiency.
