Estimation of Total Factor Productivity in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region from 1992 to 2020:Based on Three Estimation Methods
Based on macro data from 1992 to 2020 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,important indicators such as total factor productivity level,total factor productivity growth rate,and total factor productivity contribution to economic growth were calculated using solow residual method,implicit variable method,and data envelopment analysis.The research results show that the total factor productivity level in Beijing is significantly higher than that in Tianjin and Hebei.The growth rate of total factor productivity calculated by different methods has the same trend of change.The trend of total factor productivity growth rate in Tianjin and Hebei is relatively consistent,but it is not consistent with the trend of total factor productivity growth rate in Beijing.The growth of total factor productivity in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region is weak,and the growth of total factor productivity has slowed down or even slightly decreased.The economic growth of Beijing Tianjin Hebei mainly comes from factor input rather than the improvement of total factor productivity.At the same time,the growth of total factor productivity in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei mainly comes from technological progress rather than efficiency improvement.
