基于半参数法的中国跨地区全要素生产率研究

A Study on the Transregional Total Factor Productivity in China Based on the Semi-parametric Method

文章利用2002-2014年中国工业企业水平的微观数据,采用Levinsohn and Pertrin法(简称LP半参数法)系统分析和测算中国31个省份全要素生产率(TFP)的变动情况,同时比较跨地区生产率差异并分析其差异原因。结果表明,中国跨地区全要素生产率具有较大差异,其中环渤海和东南地区及中部地区的TFP均值相对较高,其次是东北地区,西南和西北地区TFP均值最低。因此,要改善中国不同地区的全要素生产率差异,政府需要在全面实施创新驱动发展战略、完善产业政策、优化资源配置和降低地区边界效应等方面做出努力。

Based on the micro data of the level of China＇ s industrial enterprises from 2002 to 2014, this paper applies Levinsohn and Pertrin method （hereinafter referred to as LP method） systematically analyzes and measures the changes in the total factor productivity （TFP） of China＇ s 31 provincial-level administrative areas, and compares the differences in productivity between different areas and analyzes the reasons for the differences. The results show that the transregional total factor productivity in China has great differences, among them the TFP mean value is relatively high in Bohai Sea, the southeast and central regions, followed by the northeast region, and the southwest and northwest regions with the lowest mean TFP. Therefore, the government needs to make more efforts on fully implementing innovation driven development strategy, perfecting industrial policy, optimizing resource allocation, reducing regional boundary effect and so on, in order to improve the TFP differences between different regions in China.
