This paper just investigates the relationship between economic development and environmental sustainability in Chinese provinces focused on the eco-efficiency calculation. In this paper, by the index of eco-efficiency into economic effect (er) and environment effect (ee), thus an effect matrix is framed; and a new method that can analyze the relationship between the economic development and environment sustainability is outlined and applied to evaluate the eco-efficiency change of 31 provinces of China during 2006-2010. Empirical results show that Beijing city is found to be the only one that has improved its eco-efficiency in the absolutely strong sustainability paradigm at all three environmental impacts; while most of other areas have taken on a paradigm of weak sustainability at some specific environmental impact; the country as a whole presents a weak sustainability paradigm for its solid waste production and the absolutely strong sustainability one both in its waste water and SO2 emission production. The effect matrix analysis constitutes a new way to assess the change of the eco-efficiency in an area, which seems very promising to judge the state of an area's eco-efficiency change toward sustainability and provides the sound foundation to support policy making.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijaeis.2014100103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,17]],"date-time":"2014-12-17T08:41:03Z","timestamp":1418805663000},"page":"56-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Analysis of the Eco-Efficiency Change of Chinese Provinces"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Shixiu","family":"Bai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Economics and Management, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinxia","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Management, Heilongjiang University of Science & Technology, Harbin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Song","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Management, Shandong Institute of Business and Technology, Yantai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guoshuang","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Economics and Management, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2012.02.025"},{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.econlet.2012.10.009"},{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolecon.2003.08.005"},{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1504\/PIE.2008.019128"},{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolecon.2009.08.003"},{"key":"ijaeis.2014100103-5","author":"A.
