环境规制、技术效率和全要素生产率增长

本文运用径向非角度方向性距离函数方法测度了2000～2009年之间我国30个省份的工业部门的环境技术效率值和环境全要素生产率变化值,同时把环境全要素生产率分解为技术进步、效率改变和规模效应,并对影响环境全要素生产率变化的因素进行了实证分析。研究发现:总体而言,东部地区的环境技术效率值和环境全要素生产率高于中西部地区,技术进步是环境全要素生产率增长的主要原因,环境规制、教育水平、产业结构、市场结构、外商直接投资对我国全要素生产率增长起正向作用,而资源禀赋、能源结构、一阶滞后项则起反向作用,所有制结构和环境全要素生产率的关系不显著。

Environmental Regulation,Technological Efficiency and Total Factor Productivity Growth

This Paper applies radial and non-oriented directional distance function approach to measure the environmental technological efficiency and the change of environmental TFP of industrial sector of China’s 30 provinces over the period 2000 to 2009 while decomposing environmental TFP to technology progress,efficiency change and scale effect.We also empirically examine the factors which affect on the change of environmental TFP.The empirical results show that the environmental technological efficiency and environmental TFP in eastern regions are higher than centre regions and western regions overall;technology progress is the main factor of promoting the increasing of environmental TFP;environmental regulation,education level,industrial structure,market structure and FDI have the positive relationship with the increasing of environmental TFP,resource endowment,energy consumption structure and the first-order lags have the negative relationship with the increasing of environmental TFP,the relationship of ownership structure with environmental TFP is not significant.
