Abstract: Responding to global changes and promoting low-carbon development has become an important issue in the development of all countries in the world today. In order to systematically and effectively evaluate the development of regional low-carbon competitiveness, the DPSIR model is used to establish a low-carbon competitiveness evaluation index system based on the theory of low-carbon economy, and the index weight coefficient is determined by the entropy weight method, based on the traditional ideal solution. The gray theory was introduced to establish the gray ideal correlation analysis evaluation model. The cross-sectional data of Shanxi Province from 2006 to 2015 was empirically studied, and the comprehensive evaluation results proposed countermeasures to improve the low carbon competitiveness of Shanxi Province.

Key words: low carbon competitiveness, DPSIR model, grey ideal correlation analysis, evaluation system, Shanxi Province
