本文通过对绿色全要素生产率（GTFP）的测度，探讨要素市场扭曲是否抑制了中国经济的绿色发展。同时，考虑到出口和外商直接投资与要素市场扭曲、环境和经济密切相关，本文基于一个门槛模型，将出口和外商直接投资（FDI）考虑在内。结果表明，要素市场扭曲对中国GTFP增长、出口和FDI溢出效应有显著的负面影响。此外，要素市场扭曲，被发现是出口和FDI溢出效应的门槛，导致劣质出口和FDI，进一步抑制GTFP的增长。本文基于要素市场扭曲抑制全要素生产率增长这一已被广泛证实的命题，从环境的角度对这一问题进行了补充。根据研究结果，我们建议中国政府应尽可能减少对要素市场的管制，将要素资源配置交给市场。这不仅将促进中国的创新驱动发展，也将促进中国的节能环保经济。本文通过对要素扭曲影响路径的探讨，为研究出口和FDI对GTFP增长的影响机制提供了一个新的视角，并拓展了这一研究方向的实证框架。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This article measures green total factor productivity (GTFP) to discuss whether factor market distortions inhibit the green development of China's economy. Meanwhile, export and foreign direct investment (FDI) are taken into account based on a threshold model, considering export and FDI are closely related to factor market distortion, environment and the economy. The result shows that the factor market distortion has negative influences on China's GTFP growth, export and FDI's spillover effect significantly. Moreover, factor market distortion, was found to be the threshold of export and FDI's spillover effect, leading to inferior export and FDI, which further inhibit GTFP growth. This article provides a supplement to the issue from the perspective of environment based on the widely confirmed proposition that factor market distortion inhibits TFP growth. According to the results, we suggest that the Chinese government should reduce the control of factor market as much as possible, leaving the factor resources allocation to the market. This will not only promote an innovation-driven development, but also an energy-saving and environment-friendly economy in China. The article provides a new perspective on the influence mechanism of export and FDI on GTFP growth by discussing the impact path of factor distortion, and expands the empirical framework of the research direction as well.
