Abstract
adopts the traditional DEA-Malmquist index method and the SBMML
index method considering undesired output to measure the
growth efficiency of China’s real economy with or without environmental
constraints. The results show that: (1) From 2005 to 2017, the
total factor productivity of China's real economy increased by 2.7%,
but under environmental constraints, the total factor productivity of
China’s real economy decreased by 0.6%, mainly due to the “drag” of
the growth efficiency of the real economy by technological changes.
Second, without considering the unintended output, 76.67% of the
provinces and cities have improved the growth efficiency of the real
economy, and 93.33% have made technological progress. Third,
under environmental constraints, the total factor productivity and
technological progress showed an upward trend only in the central
region, while all other regions showed a downward trend to varying
degrees. The descending range is east > northeast > west.
