摘要: 本文基于非径向、非角度的SBM方向性距离函数和Malmquist-Luenberger生产率指数,运用MaxDEA软件测算包含工业废水排放量、工业废气排放量两种非期望产出在内的中国30个省、市、自治区的绿色全要素生产率(GTFP),并运用面板数据回归分析政府干预、环境规制以及二者之间的交互作用对绿色全要素生产率的影响。研究结果表明:在一定范围内,环境规制水平的提高能有效地促进绿色全要素生产率的提升,但这种正向促进作用一旦超过某个临界值就会减弱,即验证了“强波特假说”。在政府干预程度越强的地区,当地政府可能越倾向于采用行政性环境规制手段迫使企业进行污染治理,造成了资源的扭曲,不利于绿色全要素生产率的提高;在政府干预程度较弱的地区,当地政府会趋向于选择逐步引导的环境规制方式,有效地促进企业进行绿色技术创新,对绿色全要素生产率产生积极的影响。因此,政府恰当设计环境规制、合理把握对市场的干预程度,才能实现经济与环境保护协调发展。

Abstract: Based on the non-radial and non-angle SBM direction distance function and Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index, this paper calculates the Green Total Factor Productivity(GTFP) indicators of 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China with industrial waste water and gas emissions as unexpected outputs included in the calculation process, and analyzes the effects of government intervention, environment regulation and their interaction effect on GTFP. Research shows the improvement of environmental regulation level can effectively promote the promotion of GTFP, but this positive promotion will be weakened once it exceeds a critical value, confirming the Strong Potter Hypothesis. In the region where government intervention is strong, the government incline to force firms to cut down pollution by administrative means, which results in misallocation of resources and is harmful to the improvement of firms′ GTFP; in the regions where government intervention is inferior, however, the local government tends to regulate by more progressive ways, which is conducive to firms′ green technology innovation and will have positive effect on GTFP. Therefore, in order to realize the coordinated development of economy and environment protection, government should properly design environmental regulations and reasonably grasp the degree of intervention in the market.

Key words: government intervention, environmental regulation, Green Total Factor Productivity
