全要素生产率变动的分解——基于Malmquist生产力指数的实证分析

一、引言关于全要素生产率(TFP)的讨论,是当今经济学界的热门话题。对它的研究已经成为应用经济学领域中十分活跃的分支。全要素生产率(TFP)的最初研究开始于丁伯根(1942)和索洛(1985)在新古典的框架下研究“索洛余值”对增长的贡献。后来大量关于全要素生产率的研究中,Fare(1985,1989,1994)以及coelli(1996)发展了全要素生产率变动的测量方法,并进行了卓有成效的经验分析。目前对全国特别是各省区市全要素生产率的计算,已经有许多研究成果发表,这方面的代表性文献是支道隆(1997)、Fleisher and Chen(1997)、李京文(1998)、张军和施少华…

Decomposing the Change of Total Factor Productivity--The Experimental Analysis Based on Malmquist Productivity Index

Based on the decomposing model of total factor productivity change(Malmquist Productivity Index),the paper analyses provincial productivity change during 1980 ～ 2003 years in China, and analyses convergence of provincial technical efficiency. The conclusion shows that the total factor productivity of each province generally shows stronger growth situation in China. The growth of TFP mainly stems from the function of the technological progress. The technical efficiency exist very remarkable convergence during 1980 ～ 1995 years in provinces of China, but after 1995, technical efficiency convergence presented the downward trend. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to take certain policy and measure to promote this kind of convergence trend.
