要素禀赋、内在约束与中国经济增长质量

Endowments of Production Factors,Internal Constraints,and Quality of China's Economic Growth

本文将经济增长质量界定为在一定生产要素禀赋以及资源环境、经济结构、收入结构约束下的经济增长效率。基于Lucus经济增长模型框架和随机边界异质面板生产模型,本文对1997-2011年中国及各省域经济增长质量影响因素和经济增长质量走势进行了实证测评研究。结果表明,2000年以后中国经济增长质量走势显著趋缓;劳动力和人力资本对经济增长的弹性比物质资本更大;中国经济增长质量整体面临显著的内在约束;不同区域之间的经济增长质量提升模式之间存在较大差异;东中西三类区域之间的经济增长质量水平呈现出明显的阶梯状分布;各省域人均GDP和经济增长质量指数之间基本正相关。

The quality of economic growth is defined as the efficiency of economic growth under the constraint of certain endowments of production factors, resources and environment condition, economic structure, and income structure in this paper. Through Lucus economic growth model and the heterogeneous stochastic frontier production model for panel data, the factors and trends of the quality of economic growth from 1997 to 2011 in China and its provinces are evaluated. The results show that the trend of China＇s economic growth quality has been significantly slowing since 2000. The elasticity of labor or human capital to economic growth is bigger than material capital. The overall quality of China~ economic growth faces significant internal constraints. There is a big difference among different regions in the quality improvement model of economic growth. The quality of economic growth in the eastern, middle, western region of China shows clear ladder-like distribution. The relationship between GDP per capita and the index of economic growth quality is basically positive.
