Abstract:
In the face of resource and environmental problems caused by extensive economic development, China has put forward a green development strategy. Scientific measurement and analysis of green total factor productivity (GTFP) is of great significance for achieving high-quality economic development. By introducing the human capital composition, including education, health, scientific research, and training, this paper study adopts the Slack Based Measure-Global Malmquist-Luenberger (SBM-GML) index to re-measure the GTFP and its decomposition of 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China from 2000 to 2019. The results show that: (1) China's GTFP has a fluctuating growth trend, with an average annual growth rate of 2.31%. (2) In terms of its decomposition, technical progress is the main force driving GTFP growth, with a contribution rate of 1.59%; the improvement of technical efficiency is a secondary driving force, with a contribution rate of 0.71%. (3) The measurement results of GTFP, considering the human capital composition, are generally higher than those without consideration, and the GTFP growth under the two modes shows a trend of "high in the east and low in the west". The conclusions have enlightening significance for improving GTFP and the growth potential of the economy in China.

The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a...
