国家优先支持政策促进绿色全要素生产率的效应评估——来自革命老区的经验证据

Effect Evaluation of State Priority Support Policies on Promoting Green TFP:Empirical Evidence from Old Revolutionary Areas

推进革命老区绿色高质量发展是新时代我国区域协调发展的重要战略任务,自2012年以来,国家出台了一系列支持革命老区优先发展的政策措施。为检验国家优先支持政策的影响效果和机制,文章以革命老区2008-2018年的数据为研究样本,运用PSM-DID方法,评估国家优先支持政策对五大重点革命老区的绿色全要素生产率的促进效应。研究表明:(1)国家优先支持政策显著提升了革命老区的绿色全要素生产率,促进了革命老区经济绿色高质量发展;(2)国家优先支持政策对革命老区绿色全要素生产效率的影响机制有三条,即通过智力资本投入、产业结构升级和生态治理实现的;(3)国家优先支持政策对不同城市绿色全要素生产率的促进效应存在异质性,即在工业化水平较低、人力资本水平较低和绿色发展水平较低的城市中的政策效果更强。为了进一步优化政策效果,要加大对革命老区的科技投入和教育投入、促进产业结构升级和推进生态治理,精准制定差异化的扶持政策,培育革命老区经济绿色高质量发展内生动能。

Promoting the high-quality development of old revolutionary areas is an important strategic task of Chinese coordinated regional development in the new era.Since 2012,China has issued a series of policies and measures to support the development of old revolutionary areas.In order to test the effect and functional mechanism of state priority support policies,this paper uses the data of old revolutionary areas from 2008 to 2018 as the research sample,and uses the measurement method of PSM-DID to evaluate the policy effect on the green TFP of five key old revolutionary areas.The results show that:Firstly,state priority support policies have significantly improved the green TFP of old revolutionary areas,which helps to promote the green and high-quality development of old revolutionary areas.Secondly,state priority support policies have three functional mechanisms on the high-quality development of old revolutionary areas,namely,intellectual capital investment,industrial structure upgrading and ecological governance.Thirdly,the policy effect on the green TFP of old revolutionary areas with different urban characteristics is heterogeneous.In order to further prioritize the policy effect,it is necessary not only to increase the investment in science,technology and education,and promote the upgrading of industrial structures and ecological governance,but also to formulate differentiated supporting policies and foster endogenous driving forces of green and high-quality development in old revolutionary areas.This paper tries to make contributions in the following aspects:Firstly,based on the dimension of regional development quality,it innovatively studies the policy effect on the green TFP of old revolutionary areas.Secondly,it takes old revolutionary areas as the research object and pays more attention to the key bottlenecks that restrict the coordinated development of regions.This is different from the problem of coordinating the development gap between the eastern and western regions,and the research object is relatively new.Thirdly,from the perspective of research methods,the PSM-DID method is used to identify the policy effect on the green TFP of old revolutionary areas,and the heterogeneity of the policy effect on old revolutionary areas with different urban characteristics is tested.Fourthly,from the perspective of functional mechanisms,it clarifies the three functional mechanisms of state priority support policies to promote green and high-quality development in old revolutionary areas for the first time.
