Environment Total Factor Productivity In Sichuan

With the fog and haze growing, China’s economic growed rapidly, while its environmental problems have became increasingly prominent.In order to analyze the situation of environmental pollution, net of economic growth after the construction of ecological civilization and to explore the determinants and further search based on energy saving and low-carbon environmental policy, the paper constructs a net of environmental pollution factors green TFP-ecological TFP-estimates framework. The framework includes Sichuan ecological estimates of TFP growth model and the decomposition of the two parts of the model, the former using the Solow residual method, which uses the variance method.Based on the above calculation framework, macroeconomic data collected for this paper Sichuan ecological TFP growth were estimated using time series of ecological TFP Sichuan had time vertical decomposition, using regional data on the ecological TFP Sichuan region were lateral resolution, the results showed that:(1) Sichuan Kuznets Curve environmental development encroaching inverted "U"-shaped vertices. Sichuan’s economic growth has gone through two stages of "pollution" and "later", Sichuan ecological TFP growth turned positive in the critical point in 2009. The critical point before, Sichuan ecological total factor productivity was negative growth at the expense of the ecological environment in exchange for a share of total output is higher than 5.70%, the fight for the average annual output growth of 0.15%, more extensive mode of economic development, production pollution emissions each year during the accumulation overrun, to a lesser extent sustainable development. After 2009, the Sichuan ecological TFP growth becomes positive Moreover, the growth rate has continued to increase the momentum of the production process due to extensive use of clean energy and efficiency technologies, with an average annual growth of 46.09 percent of the total output for the repair ecological environment in Sichuan’s economic development model gradually becomes more intensive, degree of sustainable development gradually.(2) The dual economic structure in Sichuan ecological TFP quite different. Sichuan ecological non-agricultural sectors of the economy total factor productivity is about 10 times the agricultural sector, energy, non-agricultural sectors of the economy to use cleaner, more efficient technologies used. Analysis showed that human efficiency is the main reason for the gap opened, followed by the ecological capital efficiency and unit capital consumption.(3) An increase ecological TFP growth rate resulted in Sichuan’s economy started to slow down in 2010. From 1993 until 2010, although the middle was once two small fluctuations in 1995 and 2009, but the overall growth rate of total output showing a larger trend year by year, and reached a peak in 2010. Beginning in 2010, due to the Sichuan ecological TFP accelerated rise, resulting in a total yearly output growth sharply reduced, and fell in 2013 to less than 8 percent before 2001.(4) Production activities TFP Sichuan ecological structure of input factors to be further optimized. Currently, there are 5% of the total output in Sichuan’s share is still at the expense of the cost of the ecological environment, and therefore continue to optimize the investment structure elements of space, continue to enhance the share of total output contribution of human capital and physical capital, the introduction of zero-emission technology, advocate zero pollution activities that will minimize the consumption of ecological environment in order to achieve eco-efficient production and consumption of dual purpose.On the basis of the analysis, this paper presents recommendations for enhancing ecological TFP Sichuan:Sichuan should continue to implement energy conservation policy should continue to expand the proportion of the service industry, should coordinate the development of green economy, low carbon environmental protection should be specific arrangements, should improve the efficiency of human resources in rural areas, should increase the strength of international cooperation and exchange.
