Heterogeneous Production Technology and Regional Green Total-factor Productivity Growth-An Analysis based on Meta-frontier and China's Provincial Panel Data of 2000-2012

摘要: 由于中国区域社会经济发展严重不平衡,从而使得不同区域绿色生产技术呈现显著的异质性特征.在生产技术异质性假定下,以非参数共同前沿理论作为分析工具,将能源与环境因素纳入到绿色生产率的核算框架之中,对我国各省份、三大区域2000-2012年的共同前沿绿色全要素生产率及其分解指数进行测算,在此基础上分析其地区差异与动态演变趋势.实证分析结果表明:以全国跨期前沿为参考基准,分析期内我国绿色全要素生产率实现了年均0.73%的增长,主要是依靠技术进步而非技术效率改善来驱动;三大地区绿色生产技术存在很强的异质性,东部地区的省份一直牢牢占据全局前沿,代表了全国最优的绿色生产技术,而中西部地区的生产前沿则逐渐偏离全国最优绿色技术前沿,与东部地区绿色生产技术的差距存在进一步扩大的危险.Abstract: China's different regions may not have the same green production technology due to the unbalanced regional development. Under the assumption of heterogeneous technology, this paper incorporates energy and environment factors into the framework of measurement of green productivity, and estimates the metafrontier green total factor productivity and its decomposition indexes of China's provinces and three major regions over 2000-2012 using non-parametric metafrontier theory, on basis of which the regional differences and dynamic trends are investigated. The empirical analysis results show that China's metafrontier green total factor productivity has reached 0.73% average growth rate promoted by technological change rather than efficiency improvement. Green technology of China's three major regions is remarkably heterogeneous. East region has been occupying the leading status of global frontier and represents the optimal green technology over the analysis period, while the production frontiers of the Central and West regions are deviating from the global green production frontier. It is dangerous that green production technology gap is further enlarged between the Central-West and the East.
