新疆城市经济增长中的全要素生产率的实证分析——基于非参数Malmquist指数方法

Positive Analysis of Total Factor Productivity in Xinjiang Urban Economic Growth Based on Nonparametric Malmquist Index

城市是区域发展的核心,城市经济增长对带动周边地区经济发展有至关重要的作用。运用2004-2007年新疆主要城市的面板数据(paneldata),采用非参数Malmquist指数方法,分析新疆城市经济增长过程中全要素生产率的变动状况,并将其进一步分解为技术效率和技术进步。研究结果表明,要提高新疆全要素生产率水平,需要同时重视技术效率和技术进步水平的提高。单独依靠一个方面,全要素生产率的增长将是有限的。因此,采取有效城市规划,实现全要素生产率的较快增长。

City is a core of regional development, and urban economic growth plays a vital role on promoting economic development of surrounding area. Applying nonparametric Malmquist index to panel data of main cities in Xinjiang during 2004-2007, this paper analyzes the change of total factor productivity in the growth of Xinjiang urban economy, and divides it into technical efficiency and technical progress. The research shows that we should pay attention to the increase of technical efficiency and technical progress in order to increase Xinjiang total factor productivity. The growth of total factor productivity alone is limited, so we should take effective urban planning to realize faster growth of total factor productivity.
