非参数成本前沿模型与中国工业增长模式研究

An Application of the Non-parametric Cost Frontier Model to Chinese Industrial Growth

本文创建了面板数据下的非参数成本前沿模型框架，对转轨期间中国大中型工业的成本变化进行分解与分析。研究发现经济全球化、FDI、产权变革和有序竞争促进中国工业的前沿技术进步和资源配置效率提高，推动中国工业增长由粗放型向集约型转变。同时，行业间日益加大的技术效率差距已经对增长模式转变构成挑战。

This paper establishes a non-parametric cost frontier model to decompose cost growth of Chinese large and medium-size industrial firms, and finds that globalization, property rights reform, and moderate competition promote technological progress and allocative efficiency. This means that the Chinese growth model is shifting from an extensive one to an intensive one at the turn of the century. In the meantime, gaps among sectors are being en- larged, constituting a challenge for the Chinese economy.
