Abstract:
Based on panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2019, the super slacks-based measure(SBM)model combined with the global Malmquist-Lenberger(ML)index is utilized to determine green total factor productivity to measure green economic growth. Then, the impact of market integration on green economy is explored. The findings indicate that integration has a significant role in accelerating the green economy, with notable spatial, temporal, openness, and policy heterogeneity. A series of robustness tests support the conclusions. The impact mechanism test reveals that market integration bolsters the green economy via green efficiency improvements. Furthermore, a threshold effect is evident between market integration and the green economy based on rationalization and ecologicalization of industrial structure and innovation input. Based on the results, policy suggestions regarding how to further enhance the level of market integration and the green economy are proposed.
基于2000—2019年中国30个省份的面板数据, 运用超效率SBM算法并结合全局Malmquist-Lenberger指数计算绿色全要素生产率, 以此衡量绿色经济增长, 探讨了市场一体化对绿色经济增长的影响效应.研究发现:市场一体化能显著促进绿色经济增长, 且这种促进作用存在空间异质性、时间异质性、开放度异质性和政策异质性, 一系列稳健性检验结果均支持该结论;影响机制检验表明, 市场一体化促进绿色经济增长是通过绿色效率改善实现的.进一步研究发现, 市场一体化与绿色经济增长之间存在基于产业结构合理化、产业结构生态化和创新投入的门槛效应.基于研究结果提出了如何进一步提升市场一体化水平和促进绿色经济发展的政策建议.
