本文基于方向性距离函数,运用Malmquist-Luenberger指数方法对“十五”以来中国制造业全要素生产率进行估算,发现在正确考虑环境管制后,中国制造业行业的全要素生产率增长水平得到提高,技术进步是其增长的源泉。本文还发现,“十五”以来中国实行的一系列节能减排政策有效地推动了制造业绿色生产率的持续改善,特别是在“十一五”开局之年,中国制造业绿色全要素生产率增长最快且达到顶峰,在考察期内,我们发现重工业生产率、生产效率和技术进步增长相对于轻工业而言提高更快,初步彰显出环境政策对于制造业转型升级、实现可持续发展的可行有效。
This paper employs directional distance function and Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index to measure TFP over the period 2001 to 2009 in 31 manufacture industries of China. The results indicate that the TFP of China's manufacturing industry under environmental restrictions is in a steady growth trend while technology advancement is the primary cause of gains in manufacturing industry TFP. The most important finding is that the environmental regulations implemented in China since 2001 substantially improved the real industrial productivity, especially between 2001 and 21)02. During the inspection period, we find that the TFP, production efficiency and technological progress of heavy industrial productivity improve faster than the terms of the light industry, showing that environmental policy is feasible and effective for model-transfer upgrading and sustainable development in China.
