Using the methods of the non-radial directional distance function (NRDDF) and the improved Luenberger productivity indicator with difference-based structure, this paper studied the regional differences, changing trends and causes decompositions of the atmospheric pollution emissions efficiency (APEE) of China's 13major industrial provinces from 2003 to 2012. The empirical results showed that: (1) the APEE of China's major industrial provinces was generally lower, and regional difference was obvious, at the same time the atmospheric pollution has the great potential for emissions reduction; (2) a key constraint on the APEE of China's major industrial provinces was the pure technical efficiency; (3) taken the whole or a certain pollutant, the increase of APEE presented the mode of the single wheel drived by the environmental technical progress completely, while the change of pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE) played the negative effects on that; (4) the APEE of China's major industrial provinces appeared Matthew effect, and the efficiency differences of the APEE among these provinces would probably continue to expand through the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of provincial atmospheric pollution reduction.
